You Could Get $4,000 Toward Your Healthcare Degree
Through a generous donation of Sentara, Western Governors University is pleased to offer the Sentara Scholarship for Virginia residents. These scholarships, each valued up to $4,000, are designed for motivated students who are pursuing a degree in healthcare. Only 20 scholarships will be given on a first come, first served basis to students who demonstrate a financial need.
Nursing and healthcare professionals are both a career based on constant learning, growth, and development. The skills and know-how that a nurse, or healthcare professional, must master are varied, complex, and lifesaving. The impact of these skills can be greatly compounded with the increased knowledge of theory, policy, and leadership gained in any one of WGU’s healthcare degrees. WGU’s nursing and healthcare degree programs specialize in the kind of patient-centered, evidence-based practice that will truly revolutionize health in the 21st century.
Eligibility
For new students or returning graduates pursuing an eligible degree in healthcare:
- Any Bachelor's or Master's degree from the Leavitt School of Health
- Healthcare Management – B.S. Business Administration
- MBA Healthcare Management
Applicants must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if eligible to do so.
Applicants must also demonstrate financial need as determined by the WGU scholarships department.
*For Virginia residents only.
