A Free Application for Federal Student Aid must be submitted to the Federal Student Aid Programs in Illinois to apply for financial aid. You may obtain an application from the Financial Aid Office in the School of Nursing. The deadline for entering graduate students to apply is September 1st. The UCLA Graduate Division offers several types of merit based support. Some of this money is allocated to the School of Nursing to use in the recruitment and retention of outstanding applicants.
Applicants compete campus wide.
These funds are not solely allocated to the School of Nursing. Applicants from across the campus compete for the restricted fellowship awards. Several agencies, such as, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, local Medical Auxiliaries, American Nurse Association, and California Nurses Association offer scholarships to students pursuing graduate degrees. Federal agencies such as the Veterans Administration, Air Force, Army, and Navy may offer scholarship support for graduate study. These agencies require that the student serve in the agency for a specified period of time after graduation.
