Nursing and Pre-Health Scholarships

Interested in Nursing or Pre-Health?

Health Care careers are in high demand. And UT Permian Basin wants to help take some of your undergraduate costs off your plate! In partnership with the Permian Strategic Partnership (PSP), UTPB is able to cover tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduates majoring in Nursing, Pre-Med, Pre-Dental, Pre-Pharmacy, and other pre-health related fields through a competitive, renewable four-year scholarship. Funding is awarded through a combination of federal, state, and institutional funds to qualifying students.

PSP Scholarship candidates must:

• be a permanent resident of the Permian Basin¹ 
• attend UT Permian Basin with intent to major in Nursing or a pre-health major.  
• be enrolled full-time at UT Permian Basin. 
• exhibit rigorous course selection, participation, and academic performance. 

PSP Scholars will be selected using a holistic review with the following considerations: statement of interest indicating your commitment to the medical profession, GPA, ACT/SAT scores (not required but considered if submitted), volunteer service, applicable course completion (high school and/or community college).

Our goal is to grow the next generation of healthcare providers in the Permian Basin. We want to support our hospitals and clinics by training talented, experienced, and motivated professionals ready to serve our community. To further support our hospitals and clinics, scholarship recipients must agree to work three years after graduation in their health-related field for an employer in the Permian Basin.

The 2024-2025 PSP Scholarship application deadline is Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Any applications submitted past that date will not be considered.
