Scholarships

Students in the Department of Nursing are eligible for Miami University Regional Campus and Department of Nursing scholarships annually.

Regional Campus Scholarships

The REGIONAL CAMPUS scholarship awards are made possible through the generous support of donors to Miami University. These awards vary from $100 to $5,000. Awards are made at the discretion of the regional Campus Scholarship committee based on the availability of funds. Please consult Financial Aid for details.

Department of Nursing Scholarships

The DEPARTMENT OF NURSING scholarship awards are made possible through the generous support of donors and Nursing Alumni. These awards vary based on the availability of funds and are awarded at the discretion of the Department of Nursing Scholarship committee. Students enrolled in Nursing course work will receive email notification of the online application process during spring semester.

Student Representation

The Nursing Department believes that student representation and participation is an important student right, and that this voice should have an important impact upon the activity within the Department. Students are encouraged to participate in the Nursing Student Association, the Student Advisory Council, or other University organizations.

Student Nurses Association (SNA)

The Student Nurses Association is organized to foster an understanding of the nursing program and to stimulate and encourage professional behavior of members. Membership is open to all students interested in nursing. Its goal is to promote fellowship and mentoring of future and current nursing students and to promote health and service on campus and in the local community.

Student Advisory Council (SAC)

The Student Advisory Council consists of volunteer nursing students within the program that are selected for representation of their cohorts. Its goal is to be a formal intermediary platform for direct communication between students and faculty related to curriculum, admissions, progression, and graduation within the Miami Nursing Program. The functions of SAC are as follows: 

  1. To provide an official channel of communication and cooperation between students and faculty.
  2. For the faculty in the Department of Nursing to seek student input and share issues of mutual interest that include, but are not limited to, academic programs, non-curricular programs, student services, campus facilities, and policies and procedures with direct impact on students. 
  3. Students submit recommendations, general student concerns and ideas for improvement to the faculty of the appropriate standing committees. Currently students attend Curriculum Committee Meetings and Admission-Progression-Graduation Meetings; other meetings may be attended at the discretion of the Chair of the Nursing Department. 
  4. Two to three students are to attend each faculty meeting - 1 being a Co-Chair and at least one other member. Ideal membership is 3 students per cohort at each level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior). The proposed Co-Chairs would be approved by the outgoing Co-Chairs and Faculty Advisor, who then presents the new Co-Chairs to the Faculty Organization and the Department Chair for finalization. 
  5. SAC Co-Chairs are to contact nursing students at the beginning of each semester or as needed to encourage committee membership. 
  6. The council will meet 3 times per semester and keep minutes of their meetings, which will be sent to the nursing office for record keeping at the end of each semester by the Faculty Advisor. 
  7. SAC members will have a Faculty Advisor to assist them in their roles. 
  8. The SAC Co-Chairs will compile and submit to the Faculty Advisor, an Annual Report in May of each academic year that summarizes all pertinent details of the council, activities completed, meetings held/attended, active members, and any other applicable information.
