As an international student interested in pursuing an undergraduate nursing degree in the U.S., are there any scholarships specifically catered to nursing students from abroad? I'm keen on understanding what financial support is available for this field.
There are numerous scholarship opportunities available for international students pursuing an undergraduate nursing degree in the U.S. Here are some examples:
1. American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN): AACN offers scholarships to students pursuing a variety of types of nursing education, including Bachelor's degrees. They have several scholarships and awards that you can apply for.
2. Nurse Corps Scholarship Program: This program offers scholarships to students enrolled in nursing degree programs in exchange for a commitment to work in a Critical Shortage Facility upon graduation.
3. Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Foundation scholarships: These scholarships are typically tailored for members of the ENA, but international students pursuing a nursing degree in the U.S. who are members may also be eligible.
4. Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) Honor Society of Nursing: STTI offers a variety of grants and scholarships for nursing students, including undergraduate programs.
5. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: International students may apply through the Fulbright Program for scholarship assistance.
6. Appily also has an extensive database where you can look for scholarships based on your personalized profile, including your chosen degree and international status.
Remember always to check the eligibility criteria for each scholarship as some may require you to be in certain years of study or maintain a certain GPA. The competition can be fierce for some scholarships, so it's essential to start your search early and apply to as many scholarships as you can to increase your chances of success. Good luck with your nursing journey!
