An individual is eligible to apply for a one-year scholarship for tuition-related expenses if they meet the established criteria. The scholarship amount that will be awarded is on an as needed basis, and is contingent upon the student meeting the established criteria mandated by the College. Instituto’s College Scholarship may be renewed for a second year if awarded students successfully complete all requirements of the ADN program during the first year. All scholarships (and scholarship renewals) are contingent on the availability of funding.
