  • Application form
  • Promissory note
Additional Information: Applicants must sign and return a promissory note agreeing to serve as a full-time nurse in a hospital or related institution. Service is for four years if the recipient attended a four-year public institution or for two years if the recipient attended a two-year public institution, regardless of the number of years for which he/she received an award, or he/she must repay the scholarship with interest. If the recipient holds this scholarship with any other award requiring a service obligation, he/she must perform his/her service in consecutive years. Recipients of this program have six months from the date of graduation to begin the service.

Renewal is based on satisfactory academic progress and continued enrollment in a nursing program.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $4,000.
