Student Nursing Association
Scholarship Information
Some 90% of all Valpo students receive some form of financial aid.
The Student Nurses Association is a national organization that groups student nurses together to discuss current healthcare issues as well as celebrate the nursing profession. The state level informs each school's chapter of upcoming events and issues that are important for student nurses. The National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) has a national convention that raises new issues that effect the future of nursing. Two students represented Valparaiso University College of Nursing at the NSNA 2008 meeting.
