Scholarships

Weber State University provides millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships each year. 
Please become familiar with important deadline dates and information found on WSU’s Scholarship Page: https://weber.edu/financialaid. This link includes 2 important links (FAFSA and Specialized Scholarship Application). These are required before being considered for ANY scholarships affiliated with Weber State University. 

PLEASE NOTE:
There is often confusion as to the difference between a full time program and full time credits. If a scholarship or financial aid requires a student to be “full-time”, that equates to a full time credit load. Credit loads are defined as follows:

• Full time = 12 credits
• 3/4 time = 9 credits
• 1/2 time = 6 credits

To obtain FULL  Pell Grants you must be enrolled full time credit load (12 credits), not be in a full time program. Pell Grants are adjusted each semester based on the amount of credits students are taking if not enrolled full time (see above).

Nursing is a full time PROGRAM, not a full time credit load. There are many relevant classes a student can add to their schedule to qualify for a “full time credit load” while in the Nursing program. There are resources to help students with those classes such as those found at this link: https://bit.ly/3Rpfsqk

The Annie Taylor Dee SON has numerous scholarships available and our generous donors outline the award criteria for scholarships. The majority of our scholarships require financial need to be present (based on FAFSA information and students to be at least 1/2 time). Please refer to the table above.

All WSU students accepted into the nursing program may be eligible for Annie Taylor Dee SON Scholarships. Recipients are chosen via FAFSA and Specialized Scholarship Applications which are both found here: https://weber.edu/financialaid 

IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY SON SCHOLARSHIPS, THE WSU SPECIALIZED SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT BY 11:59 PM:

• FALL SEMESTER: AUGUST 7th
• SPRING SEMESTER: DECEMBER 7th
• SUMMER SEMESTER: APRIL 7th

NO EXCEPTIONS!

PLEASE NOTE: FAFSA has its own deadline. Please refer to the main WSU Scholarship page for details.

**In addition to the completed forms above, you must have a WSU GPA for any Nursing Scholarships**

Failure to complete all the required steps on the WSU Scholarship page will render you ineligible for any and all SON scholarships.

The Annie Taylor Dee School of Nursing is appreciative of the generous community support in the form of scholarships for our nursing students.

FASTWEB is a free scholarship search platform that connects students to scholarships and financial aid tools. If you use fastweb, you may want to consider creating a separate email address for this purpose, as you may get a lot of information from them. Having a separate email account just for scholarships can help you better manage the scholarship information and avoid overflow into your normal or student email account.

GET INVOLVED ON CAMPUS- Networking and gaining skills that may accompany your degree will look great on a resume, and could possibly transition into scholarships and internships.
