First Step: Apply for Financial Aid

The first step in applying for aid is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is available at www.FAFSA.ed.gov.

Be sure to add the Shadyside Nursing School code: 006577.

The FAFSA helps decide your financial need based on factors such as:

• Income
• Assets
• Debts
• Family size
• Number of family members in college

Without a completed FAFSA, you won't be eligible for federal financial aid like federal loans and Pell Grants.

• Federal Stafford Loans
• Federal Pell Grant

The Ernest and Dirce and Jane Pesci Scholarship

Jane Pesci — a 1939 graduate of the Shadyside School of Nursing — spent her life dedicated to the nursing profession. Her endowment is the largest gift in the history of the school and provides one or two full scholarships per year for students who demonstrate genuine financial need and a hard-working, appreciative character.
