CU Nursing scholarships

Through the generous support of our donors, the college offers competitive merit- and need-based scholarships of up to $10,000. Scholarships are awarded at the start of each term for new students and annually for continuing students, depending on available funding.

For new students, scholarship application details will be posted in your New Student Canvas course shell, typically available approximately one month after admission is offered. Current students will receive application information via email.

If you have any questions about the scholarship process, please contact the office of Admissions and Student Affairs.

I was so fortunate to receive a transfer scholarship when I applied and was accepted into CU Nursing. It certainly helped defray some of the costs of college and I highly suggest students apply for any and all scholarships that are available.
