Thanks to our generous donors, the Valentine School of Nursing at Saint Louis University typically awards over $1 million in scholarship funds every academic year. Please follow the steps below to submit your scholarship application School of Nursing at SLU.

Scholarship Application Process

Submitting a FAFSA is highly recommended. Many Valentine School of Nursing scholarships are need-based, and completing the FAFSA will provide essential information that qualifies students for need-based scholarships.

Follow these steps to apply:

  1. Log in to auth.slu.edu 
  2. Click on the Scholarship Suite icon.
  3. Complete the general application questions upon entering the site.
    • It is strongly recommended that you complete every question within the general application, including the questions that aren't designated as required.
      • Completing all questions will give the scholarship committee valuable information to determine scholarship award decisions. Students who don't complete every question will still be evaluated but will not be considered competitive applicants. 
      • When asked if your degree has a concentration, list your program and specialty (if applicable). For example, "Four-year B.S.N." or "M.S.N.-FNP."
  4. Once you have completed the general application, you may apply for any scholarships in your recommended list with an “Apply” button. Please read these scholarships to verify you are qualified before applying. You must click on them to complete further questions to qualify for them.

    Any scholarships that do not have the “Apply” button will add your name after comparing the listed qualifications against the answers on the general application and your student information.

Note: Awarded scholarships may not exceed tuition costs. Any scholarship amount over tuition costs will not be given to students in a cash payout.
