Drexel Scholarships

Paying for College
1

Hi, I am a Current senior in a NJ hs (Will Graduate 2016), and I am currently interested in becoming a nurse. I recently visited Drexel University, and I feel like it’s a perfect fit! Please let me know your opinion on my chances of getting in as a nursing major at Drexel or any of the other schools listed here. My only issue with Drexel is extremely high cost of attendance.

Run the Net Price Calculator on the Drexel pages for an estimate. If they ask gpa and test scores then they will estimate at least some merit award too. Otherwise check the scholarship pages for freshmen. Often you just have to apply to see.
