The Westlake Nursing Fund provides up to $20,000 tuition funding each year to undergraduate and graduate students at Loyola Nursing, including students enrolled in the RN to BSN and ABSN tracks.
Please submit your application using the Loyola Scholarship Connection.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for a Westlake Nursing Scholarship, the applicant must be a current Loyola Nursing student or have an active application and must provide proof of current residency over the past three years or current employment in the healthcare field in West Suburban Cook County.
If selected, scholarship recipients must enroll in an undergraduate or graduate nursing program at Loyola University Chicago’s Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing to receive funding.

*Preference for funding will be given to students who live in Proviso Township and demonstrate a high probability for success as evidenced by their statements and/or GPA.

Graduate Scholarships
The Kim Noonan Scholarship provides support for advanced nursing education to a registered nurse who exemplifies the spirit of the award: a unique enthusiasm for life and the ability to impart courage to patients facing the challenge of illness. One $6,000 scholarship will be awarded to a MSN student who has a minimum of two semesters remaining in the graduate program.
