Who should I ask if I have questions about the scholarships or the application process?
Please contact the Center for Student Excellence staff at nursing.scholarship@wsu.edu

Where do I find information about scholarship eligibility?
After you have completed your General Application, the system will automatically match you to all College of Nursing scholarships you are eligible for based on the information you provided in your application and your academic record.

When and how am I notified if I received a scholarship?
You will be notified through your WSU email address. Please verify your email when completing your scholarship application.

Do I get the scholarship funding directly?
No, scholarship funds are applied to your tuition and fees for the next semester and are distributed to your student account first through the Bursar. If you have additional money after then you will get that with how your Bursar account is set up (direct deposit or via a mailed check)

What if I already have student aid?  Can I still get a scholarship?
Yes! Please be aware that due to Federal regulations, other sources of funding a student receives, regardless of source, are considered Other Financial Assistance (OFA) and must be properly accounted for. If you are a recipient of financial aid, receiving this award may affect your financial aid package. You are encouraged to learn more about how this funding may impact your financial aid package if you accept this award.

For more Information please contact:
Spokane Financial Aid via phone: (509) 358-7534 or email: spokane.finaid@wsu.edu, or visit WSU Office of Financial Aid.

Are all scholarships based on financial need?
Criteria for about 70% of our scholarships include an element of financial need that the donors felt were important. Some scholarships do not have this element. Other common considerations include leadership, commitment to the nursing profession, and academic merit. There are specific scholarships targeting individuals who demonstrate significant financial need but are not eligible for federal or state grants. In the essay portion of the general application, explain your need for scholarship support and please include any special circumstances that you would like the selection committee to be aware of.
