Scholarship & Award Application Process

If you are interested in being considered for scholarship funds that may become available for Millersville University Nursing Students, please be aware that some scholarships require that certain criteria be met in order to be awarded said scholarship monies (ie: financial need, reimbursement availability, living in PA or Lancaster, etc). A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form must be completed with each application in order to be considered for funding.  See FAFSA.

At times, scholarships other than those listed on the application may be available as awarded to Millersville for disbursement.

If you are selected to receive a scholarship/grant award, you will receive a letter from our office that will include enclosures of any forms/requests required for disbursement.  Please be sure to complete the appropriate forms sent to you, and a letter of "thank you" to the funding source (the funds are awarded for tuition purposes only -not for child care, books, gas, etc.).

The scholarship funds will not be released until the required forms are returned to the Nursing Office by the deadline indicated in the notification letter.  If the necessary forms are not completed and returned in a timely manner, the funds may be redirected.  Please be sure that you notify the office that you have indeed received the funds.  This will ensure that the process has completed and our records can be updated.

In these difficult economic times, there will be a shortage of funds to come.  We will do our best to be fair and equal in disbursements, so that we may provide as much support to our nursing students as possible. If you receive funds, you are expected to complete the semester or the funds will be withdrawn from your account.

Thank you and best wishes to you.
