For Semesters 3 and 4 (Year 2) nursing students, their nursing scholarship grade point average is calculated from grades earned in their pre-requisite courses and in their Semester 1 courses.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Scholarship funds may be awarded on the basis of federally determined financial need.</li>
