Aid for DC Residents

Many Trinity undergraduate students who live or work in Washington pay little or nothing out of pocket thanks to Trinity’s partnerships in the DC government and private sector! Here are just some:

Conway Nursing Scholarships

The Conway Nursing Scholarships provide up to $15,000 per year to each student for up to five years of enrollment as long as the student continues to achieve at the high levels expected at entrance.

When combined with Trinity’s own merit scholarships and other financial aid resources, nursing scholars may qualify for a financial aid package up to the total cost of enrollment.

“The Conway Scholarship brought joy into my life. At Trinity we are taught to tap into our greatness, question ideas, and overcome any weakness that may be a threat to our greatness, and I know for a fact that my Conway sisters and I would not have been able to learn all these without the help of this scholarship.”

-Belinda Mensah ’18, Conway Scholar at Trinity
