Admissions Advice

Veronica Clay sits in front of books in the library.

Faculty members have invested in my life so much and in my writing that I know I wouldn’t be where I am as a writer right now if it weren’t for them. They have pushed me to be better. It’s not about classes and grades with them, it’s about personal growth and success.

– Veronica Clay | English ‘19

Merit-based scholarships are awarded pending verification of official documentation and qualifications. The information provided by the calculator is not a guarantee of financial aid. *The last ACT exam date for scholarship upgrade eligibility is the February exam of your senior year.

*These scholarships are for Bachelor’s Degree seeking students only. If you are obtaining an Associate’s Degree, view our current degree offerings for more information.

*Freshmen and sophomore nursing students apply for and receive financial assistance from Rockhurst University and pay the Rockhurst tuition rate. Junior and senior students in the nursing program will pay the Saint Luke’s BSN tuition rate, meaning their Rockhurst scholarships and grants will no longer be available. Federal and state aid is still applicable, along with Nursing Foundation scholarships, any outside scholarships or funding options.
