ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED ($1,000-$6,000)

NBNA is committed to excellence in education and conducts continuing education programs for nurses and allied health professionals throughout the year. The association provides annual scholarships for students.

Scholarships provide funding for continuing education. This funding enables nurses to grow and better contribute their talents to the health and healthcare of our communities. Please review the Scholarship Application form carefully, remember, to submit ALL required documents with your application.

The Golden State Nursing Foundation through its scholarships and programs plans to help:

• Prepare nurses for the roles emerging from the changes in the delivery of health care.

• Preserve the local history of nursing.

• Support innovative practice in nursing.

• Develop a fundraising plan to assure that activities can be planned to carry out the mission.

Too many Americans—particularly in underserved areas—go without checkups, preventive screenings, vaccines, and other care, simply because there are not enough health care professionals to provide care and treatment in their communities. The NURSE Corps Scholarship Program enables you to fulfill your passion to care for underserved people in some of the neediest communities across the country.

If awarded, you will receive financial support, including:

• tuition;

• eligible fees;

• annual payment for other reasonable costs, such as books, clinical supplies/instruments and uniforms; and

• a monthly stipend ($1,363 for the 2018-2019 academic year).

California's Nursing licensing agency has a wealth of resources when looking at scholarship opportunities for students and practicing nurses. On their website you will find a list of great opportunities to fund your education!
