Prospective and transfer students first apply to the university, then may be sent a nursing program early admission application based on eligibility.

Nursing applications are due no later than Feb. 15 of the year in which the student desires to begin upper-division nursing courses. Applications are available in the nursing office.

Sergeant Major (SGM) Joaquin (Jei) Andujar served our country in the United States Army for 26 years, most recently as part of Mortuary Affairs. He was a decorated combat veteran and humanitarian. In his honor, Jei's wife Tara has set up a memorial scholarship fund for full-time university students who are veterans of the military, spouses and/or children of veterans, or active duty personnel pursuing a major in nursing or a Master's of Science in Nursing (MSN). For more information regarding the scholarship, please contact Tresse Evenson, Assistant Vice President of Financial Aid, at 605.274.5216 or at financial.aid@augie.edu.
