- have a zero Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the Student Aid Report from the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) and
- are enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an undergraduate nursing program as full-time students
- more about funding preferences from the Applicant Information Bulletin
