Scholarships
Philanthropic giving allows the UIC College of Nursing to award more than $1 million in scholarships annually
The College of Nursing encourages students to take full advantage of all scholarship opportunities available both internally and externally. Specifically, the college provides financial support to undergraduate and graduate students in the form of scholarships from many generous donors at varied levels and varying lengths throughout each year.
Current students as well as applicants to a College of Nursing degree program are eligible to apply for scholarship awards. Scholarship applications are evaluated on the basis of academic achievement, financial need and leadership/service experience.
Are you eligible to attend UIC 100% tuition-free?
Are you:
– seeking your first baccalaureate degree
– a new first-year or transfer student
– a U.S. citizen, or an eligible undocumented student or non-citizen
– from a household that earns $75,000 per year or less?
If so, you might be eligible for $0 tuition and fees through UIC Aspire. Free your mind from the stress of college debt and focus on where this exceptional education will take you.
