North Star Initiative

A diverse group of people sit around a table talking

The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing invites scholars from our partnering Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to join our graduate and professional student community in its quest toward the university’s North Star.

Students who meet the qualifications and matriculate from one of our partner institutions will be considered for the North Star Award covering 30% tuition. There will not be a cap on the number of awards distributed, and all qualified applicants will be considered.
