According to a press release on PR Newswire, nursing students looking for scholarships in North Carolina have a great opportunity coming up. Approximately 400 scholarship awards to both undergraduate and graduate nursing students are expected to be made this year through the North Carolina Nurse Scholars Program. And these nursing scholarships are quite generous; they’re in the range of $3,000 to $6,000, depending on a number of factors.
All recipients must be legal residents of North Carolina, and the scholarhips require the recipients to practice nursing for a certain period of time in North Carolina after graduating. Grades are a criterion, but financial need is not. Click here for more information about these great nursing scholarships.
But the deadline to apply is Feb. 28. What are you waiting for? And if you’re not from North Carolina, here are some more general resources to help you pay for nursing school.
