Need-Based Scholarships

• Whitehead Scholarships: A lump-sum scholarship fund for nursing students is given to the nursing department by the Whitehead Foundation on an annual basis. They are need-based scholarships for Christian females from southern states. The financial aid office determines need eligibility and awards are made by the Nursing Department Head. No application is needed and all eligible students are considered. Awards are made to students at the junior and senior levels. The amount of individual awards is based on the total donation from the Whitehead Foundation, the number of eligible students, and the level of need. Larger awards are made to upper level students. Students on academic suspension, probation, or warning are not eligible for this scholarship.
