As someone pursuing a nursing program at a community college, I'm curious about scholarship opportunities specific to nursing students. Are there particular scholarships I should be aware of or apply to?
There are some scholarships available for nursing students at community colleges. Here are some options to consider:
1. The Hurst Review Services and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Scholarship: This scholarship is open to nursing students currently enrolled in a program at a community college. They offer several scholarships each semester, and the award amount is $2,500.
2. The Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association (FNSNA): FNSNA offers scholarships to undergraduate nursing students, with awards ranging from $1,000 to $7,500 per academic year.
3. The Nurses Educational Funds, Inc.: This scholarship is for Registered Nurses (RNs) who are pursuing further education at accredited nursing schools. The award amount differs but they provide a substantial amount for tuition and fees.
4. The CampusRN Scholarship Fund: This fund awards $2,500 to six students every year. The scholarship is open to all nursing students.
5. The Tylenol Future Care Scholarship: This scholarship is offered to students who have completed at least one year in a healthcare program, including nursing.
Besides these, you should also check your school's financial aid office because they may have scholarships that are only available to students at your community college. Be sure to meet deadlines and have your materials prepared well in advance.
Keep in mind that in addition to dedicated nursing scholarships, you can also apply for general scholarships. Every bit of funding helps, and your status as a nursing student could help your application stand out. Good luck with your search!
