2012 Minority Nurse Scholarship Program
SOURCE: Minority Nurse
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 2/1/12.
$ AVAILABLE: Minority Nurse is currently accepting applications for our 13th annual scholarship competition, consisting of two $1,000 awards and one $3,000 award. Scholarships will be paid in summer 2012 for the fall 2012 academic term.
ELIGIBILITY: To apply for this scholarship, students must meet all four of the following criteria:
• Be a racial or ethnic minority.
• Be enrolled (as of September 2012) in either the third or fourth year of an accredited B.S.N. program in the United States or an accelerated program leading to a B.S.N. degree (such as R.N.-to-B.S.N. or B.A.-to-B.S.N.) OR an accelerated master’s entry program in nursing for students with bachelor’s degrees in fields other than nursing (such as B.A.-to-M.S.N.). Graduate students who already have a bachelor’s degree in nursing are not eligible.
• Have a 3.0 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale).
• Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
PURPOSE: Nurses will always be valuable members of any health care team, regardless of their educational backgrounds. Yet, the baccalaureate and master's degrees in nursing may offer the most professional opportunities.
That's why Minority Nurse offers an annual scholarship to help outstanding nurses of color complete their studies toward a Bachelor or Master of Science in Nursing. To date, we have awarded more than 40 students over $35,000 in scholarships, honoring their commitment to the profession, academic excellence, and community service.
