At Minority Nurse, we believe the baccalaureate is the degree that opens the most doors of opportunity for nurses of color. That’s why we offer an annual scholarship program to help outstanding students complete their studies leading to a BSN degree. To date, we have awarded nearly 40 scholarships, totaling $32,000, to nursing students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to academic excellence and community service.
Minority Nurse is now accepting applications for our 11th annual scholarships, which will be awarded in 2010.
