Tips for Using the Scholarship Catalog: 

• Refine Your Search: Try keyword variations (e.g., “nurse” vs. “nursing”) to see different results, and write down the Fund Number to quickly find them later in the portal.
• Don’t Rule Yourself Out: You must meet “Required” criteria, but you should still apply even if you don’t meet every “Preferred” factor!
