In 1999, Minority Nurse created an annual scholarship program to help our student readers complete their studies leading to a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Since then, more than 30 outstanding nursing students have been awarded Minority Nurse Magazine Scholarships in recognition of their exceptional commitment to academic excellence and community service. For 2009, to commemorate our tenth year of presenting these awards, we are pleased to announce some exciting changes to the program:

Increased Scholarship Amounts

In 2009, Minority Nurse will award $5,000 in scholarships:

One $3,000 Scholarship
Two $1,000 Scholarships

Streamlined Application Process

To better meet the needs of busy nursing students, we’ve made the process of applying for the scholarship easier and faster. (See “How to Apply” on the application form.)

New Deadline

The application deadline for the 2009 Minority Nurse scholarships is February 1, 2009.

Scholarships will be paid in summer 2009 for the fall 2009 term.

The scholarships are open to racial and ethnic minority students who in fall 2009 will be enrolled in either:

The third or fourth year of an accredited BSN program in the United States
An accelerated program leading to a BSN degree (such as RN-to-BSN or BA-to-BSN)
An accelerated Master’s Entry nursing program for students with bachelor’s degrees in fields other than nursing (such as BA-to-MSN)
