Future Nurses Education Grant

About this opportunity

Hospitals and clinics across the country are short-staffed, yet nursing school keeps getting more expensive. The Future Nurses Education Grant helps ADN, BSN, ABSN, and MSN students cover tuition, mandatory fees, NCLEX examination costs, scrubs, stethoscopes, and clinical travel. Awards are paid each semester directly to your nursing program so you can cut back on night shifts and focus on your studies. Recipients also join a national peer circle of nursing students, get free NCLEX prep materials, and are matched with a working nurse mentor in their chosen specialty — from pediatrics to geriatrics to emergency care. Students who commit to at least one year of bedside or community-health service after graduation are considered first, because that is where the need is greatest.
