Welcome to admitted doctoral & masters students entering in September 2011!

Congrats to MEPNs Entering Specialty Training in Fall Quarter 2011!

Take these 3 actions to help make your graduate education "the gift you give yourself":

1: Attend Money For School (MFS) seminar on 5/21/11

Please mark your calendar & enroll in our annual Money For School (MFS) seminar being held on Sat., May 21.

Designed and led by current UCSF School of Nursing students, deans, and campus advisors, it is THE funding seminar to set you on the right path now so you’ll thrive in grad school. This event is geared to US Citizens and Permanent Residents who will be RNs by fall quarter 2011.

2: Apply now for Financial Aid

Please follow the relatively painless steps to apply now for financial aid through the UCSF Office of Student Financial Aid. (Homeowners do receive aid!)

We ask that every student to apply for this wonderful UCSF campus resource that can be a piece of the overall school funding strategy that you’ll develop for yourself at the Money For School (MFS) seminar on Sat., May 21

Applying now for financial aid increases your chances of receiving grants (free money) and low interest educational loans that may be totally "forgiven" through targeted employment opportunities. Be first in line! (Final deadline 8/13/10) This option is for US Citizens and Permanent Residents.

3: Apply now for School of Nursing awards (final deadline 5/20/11) & External Scholarships

The School has several awards with a May 20 deadline. Learn more & apply.

Use the School's links to recommended external scholarships listed in the Update, the monthly student newsletter. There is money out there to apply for now for your first year in the program but you’ll need to act fast. Learn more & apply.

School-based and external free money awards can be a piece of the overall school funding strategy that you’ll develop for yourself at the Money For School seminar on Sat., May 21. We will coach you further on how to apply for scholarships at MFS.
