I'm interested in pursuing a nursing degree and could really use some financial aid. Does anyone have tips on finding and applying for nursing scholarships for college students? Any specific organizations or websites you recommend?
Sure, there are several specific organizations and websites that might help you find nursing scholarships. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing is a great place to start. They have a scholarships and financial aid page, which includes both undergraduate and graduate nursing scholarships.
The American Nurses Association also has a scholarship program, so I would definitely check out their site. Other nursing-focused scholarships worth looking into include those offered by Nurse Corps and the Hurst Reviews/AACN Nursing Scholarship.
Another great resource is the website Appily, which allows you to search for scholarships based on a variety of factors including your intended major. It's a tremendous tool because it can help streamline your search for scholarships that are most relevant to you, including those specifically for nursing students.
When applying for scholarships, be sure to carefully review all the eligibility requirements to ensure you qualify. Also, pay close attention to the application deadlines to ensure you submit everything on time. And remember, while larger, more lucrative scholarships can be very enticing, don't overlook smaller scholarships. They tend to be less competitive and every little bit can help lighten the financial burden!
