The WCU Opportunity Grant is offered to qualified students who are enrolled in the on-ground BSN or LVN-BSN programs at West Coast University and have exhausted all other attempts at gap financing.   To qualify, a student must meet all admissions requirements of the program, and meet the following criteria:

1. Must have previously applied for admission but cancelled prior to June 15, 2015
2. Must demonstrate financial need and have an unfunded tuition and fee balance owed to WCU.
3. California applicants:  A minimum composite score of 8, based on entrance examination and cumulative GPA as described in the catalog admissions requirements, is required.

        Texas applicants:      A minimum HESI score of 83 upon application to WCU is required. 

Amounts awarded may vary based on demonstrated financial need, but will not exceed a maximum of $9,500 for California applicants and $6,000 for Texas applicants per semester.  Awards are renewable each academic year for students who meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards, have demonstrated financial need for the subsequent academic year, and are current on their payment plans. This grant may not be combined with any other WCU grant or scholarship.  This grant is not available for Florida applicants.
