Leilee P. Ault School of Nursing Alumni Association Scholarships
The association awards four $500 scholarships each year. Recipients must have at least a 3.0 grade point average to be eligible. Selection is based on an essay describing why the student has chosen a career in nursing, faculty letters of recommendation and leadership potential based on scholastic, community and professional involvement.

Lunch and Learn Seminars
