Graduate Scholarships

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

Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College 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 Goldfarb each year.

The awarding of scholarship funds is not guaranteed and based on funding availability. 

You must be starting in your first term to be considered.  To be eligible for some of our institutional scholarships, the interest form link below must be completed.  Remaining institutional scholarship opportunities offered do not require an interest form/application.  Those will be reviewed as data comes into our system (ie: GPA, Need, etc).  Upon submission of your scholarship application, Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing will evaluate your eligibility and notify you if you are eligible.
