Financial Aid & Scholarship Information

Financial Aid:

Students interested in finding resources to fund their education should consider filing the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  Financial aid can only be awarded to students who have been accepted for admission, so it is important that new students carefully follow all instructions from the Registrar and Financial Aid Office. If you want financial aid, you should be applying for it while applying for admission. This way, the Financial Aid Office will be able to notify you promptly after you are admitted. It also is very important that you observe the financial aid application deadlines and preferential filing dates. The Registrar and Financial Aid Office looks forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to campus. For more information on financial aid, please call the Registrar and Financial Aid Office at 503-494-7800 or 1-800-775-5460. 

Scholarship Opportunities:

The School of Nursing Alumni Foundation offers scholarships to nursing students who meet various academic, financial, ethnicity, regional, and program criteria.  All incoming and current students are encouraged to apply for the FAFSA as well as provide a SoN scholarship application. Please find the OHSU School of Nursing Scholarship Application here or in your online application.
