Undergraduate Scholarships

Institutional scholarships are made possible through generous donations given to The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing educates future nurses who are driven to make a difference in the lives of others. The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital supports this mission by awarding scholarships to students at the College each year.

Scholarship awarding is not guaranteed and is based on funding availability.

Students must be in their first term to be considered for a scholarship. Complete the institutional scholarship application to determine if you are eligible for various scholarships. Remaining institutional scholarship opportunities do not require an interest form or application. The College will review your application and notify you if you are eligible for any scholarships.

Students awarded the BJC Full-Ride Scholars Program are ineligible for institutional scholarship consideration.
