Grants

Sheridan College offers tuition assistance to employees and their eligible family members. The award is applied to each eligible term and is based on several criteria as well as availability of funding. Employees or eligible family members wishing to review additional criteria can access the form in the Financial Aid page of the HUB, or stop by the Financial Aid Office. The completed application must be signed by the Human Resources Office and submitted to the Financial Aid Office for processing.

The Golden Age Grant is available to students who are age 60 or above on or before the first day of the semester of enrollment. The grant will cover 50% of tuition charges only (fees are not included). Any remaining balance is the student’s responsibility and must be paid by the payment deadline. 50% of tuition charges will be automatically credited by the financial aid office; no form or application is required to receive the credit.

The Wyoming Investment in Nursing Program is available to Wyoming residents (or students who graduated from a Wyoming high school) who have been accepted into our Nursing Program and plan to practice as a nurse or nurse educator in Wyoming after graduation. This loan may be treated as a grant and repaid by the State of Wyoming if you agree to work full-time as a nurse within the state of Wyoming for a certain amount of time.

Students who apply for WYIN must complete their FAFSA prior to being considered for the loan. The FAFSA application must be received by the school by July 1. Funds are limited, consideration is given to students who have the greatest unmet financial need, submitted their application and self-certification by the posted deadline, and have a completed FAFSA application on file at Sheridan College.
