Look for return-of-service offers

Some health awards and grants pay your costs in exchange for working in a set region or field after you graduate. Read the work commitment on the official page before you accept.

Hospital foundations, nursing schools and professional associations may run their own awards. Check the nursing or health faculty page at each school on your list.

Don't stop at program awards

Program awards are a short list. Most of the money for first-year students comes from entrance awards open to every program. See entrance scholarships with no application and major national awards.

The Scholarship Finder ranks every award in our list for you. The “Find awards that fit you” button below opens it with health or nursing already picked.

How this list works

Every award here comes from the same checked list as our Scholarship Finder. Each record links to the provider's own page and shows the day we last checked it. We never copy award details from aggregator sites.

Awards that are closed for this cycle are left out of the tables. They come back when the provider posts new dates. Dates refresh on their own, so a passed date drops off the page.

A listing isn't a promise that you qualify. Each provider sets its own rules and picks its own winners. Read the official page before you apply.
