Students holding Canadian citizenship are eligible to apply for School of Nursing Scholarship. International students should also maintain regular contact with the Office of Foreign Students and Scholars , located at 246 Church Street, Room 201. Although this office does not provide financial aid, it is the source of information for international students including visa requirements, changing immigration regulations and employment eligibility. Most financial aid programs use a system called need analysis to determine a student's financial need. FM estimates the financial resources of applicants to graduate and professional schools.
All information is treated confidentially.
A student's 1999 adjusted gross income, assets and untaxed income are taken into consideration to determine the student's need for loans and scholarship. Also considered is the family size and family maintenance expenses. The spouse of a married student is expected to contribute to the support of the student and their children. When the spouse's salary is inadequate as determined by need analysis, financial aid is available to meet the shortfall. If a spouse is a full-time student, the nursing student will be treated as a single student.
