Nursing is one of the careers that has not only experienced extreme growth in terms of demand, but also has reached the point of crisis in some locations due to shortages of qualified individuals to fill the needs of the communities. Due to these extremes, there is a great deal of motivation on the part of government entities, especially to provide financial assistance in order to encourage more people to seek careers as nurses. As a result, there are a variety of general and nursing-specific scholarships and grants available to women who desire to earn nursing degrees.
In pursuing your goal of becoming a nurse, it’s important to evaluate the paths available to achieving this goal, and it’s important to recognize the different types of nursing degrees available.
The LPN, licensed practical nurse, is often trained in an actual medical setting, and performs limited duties such as patient care and taking of vitals. The time required is less than that associated with the RN, registered nurse, degree.
It’s possible to obtain an RN degree through an associate’s program or through a bachelor’s program. The two-year or four-year degrees culminate with the need for the RN candidate to pass the NCLEX-RN exam, a national test that leads to licensure.
Your need for financial aid will depend on the length of study time, the pricing of the institution at which you will study, and your financial need. While some forms of aid are need-based, others are merit-based. Additionally, financial aid for women pursuing a nursing degree may be awarded based on community service and other relevant factors.
Federal Financial Aid for Women in Nursing
General financial aid is an option for both men and women who demonstrate sufficient need. The FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, should be filled out as soon as possible at the beginning of the calendar year preceding the expected date of entry into a program of study.
Personal information will be filled out, including personal identification, family composition, financial status, and tax return information for both student and parents. If the applicant is an adult that is not claimed as a dependent, parent information isn’t needed, of course.
It’s possible to complete these forms without exact tax information in order to have them done early, but it will be necessary to update the tax return information upon completion of your tax return. You can complete the forms on paper or electronically, and it’s possible to find assistance from a college or university if you need help.
You will receive confirmation of receipt of your FAFSA along with an estimate of your potential aid. This isn’t the exact award that you will receive, but rather a maximum amount that may be awarded. The actual award will be determined by your specific institution, and it is important that your FAFSA indicate the institutions you are considering attending.
Further detail may be required by these colleges or universities, and it’s important to comply with these additional requests in a timely manner. For further information, visit the FAFSA home page.
Work Study
Your FAFSA will ask about your interest in work study. This is an additional opportunity to earn money toward your degree through federally subsidized employment. This can help many students to stretch their funds, including those pursuing a nursing degree.
Government Nursing Scholarships
Due to the high demand for nursing professionals and the need to attract more students to the study and pursuit of nursing degrees, the government established a scholarship program that assists students with great financial need in financing their studies. The award comes with a condition of providing two years of nursing service in a high-need location.
Preference is given to those students with the greatest need and with zero parental contribution expected. In addition to financial and personal information being provided in the application, there is an essay portion in which the candidate can describe her interest in and commitment to the nursing profession.
This scholarship provides up to four years of tuition and other reasonable expense funding, including books, medical equipment, and supplies needed for clinical training. It also provides a monthly stipend, variable each year.
Over the life of this program, the number of awards has increased each year, with nearly 500 awards given for the 2011-2012 academic year. For more information, visit the Nursing Scholarship Program home page.
Military Nursing Scholarships for Female Nursing Students
Both Air Force and Navy ROTC programs offer potential scholarship assistance to women who will pursue the field of nursing. Qualifications must be met, and awards can be quite ample, with initial grants plus monthly stipends allowing for the student to be able to afford her nursing studies. The awards are generally accompanied by a required time of active duty following graduation.
Institution-Specific Scholarships
Each college and university has its own scholarship department, and it’s wise for a woman interested in studying nursing to apply through that department. Details and applications are often available online, and should be explored early in the spring for the best opportunity at receiving aid. There are opportunities for need-based scholarships, merit-based scholarships, and service-based scholarships. The availability varies by institution.
Additionally, many institutions of higher education have department-specific scholarships available and encourage students to pursue those options through their department of concentration. You should explore the availability of nursing scholarships available through your school early in the spring preceding your entry into the school or program, and you need to complete applications according to deadlines in order to be considered.
Community-Based Scholarships
If you are looking for funding for your nursing studies, then every source of aid matters. Many communities prove to be rich in options for additional scholarships available to students pursuing a variety of career paths, and the female nursing student should investigate these avenues for augmenting her finances for school.
Utility companies are among those entities that provide scholarship opportunities, as are financial institutions. Check for information on company websites or as at the actual offices. Service organizations such as Rotary Clubs and Kiwanis are also noted for sponsoring scholarships.
Professional organizations, clubs and unions often have opportunities for those pursuing their fields to apply for scholarship money. Check with nursing unions and healthcare providers’ associations for specific information. Be sure to investigate at local, state, and national levels for opportunities.
State-Specific Scholarships
Many state entities sponsor scholarships that apply either to general in-state studies at higher institutions or to nursing-specific pursuits that will be in-state. Much of the need for nurses demands that states and organizations invest in the training of those who will remain to serve their specific states. In other cases, the purpose of in-state scholarship programs is to interest quality students in studying in-state.
Awards may be of a single year’s duration or they may be renewable. This, along with amounts, varies from one specific scholarship to the next. Qualifications and preference vary according to the sponsoring organization’s priorities. Some value student need and grades, while others depend on a proven record of leadership. Many require essays to allow students to convey their interest and passion for the nursing profession. While some applications may be submitted electronically, others must be submitted by mail. It’s imperative that students follow directions carefully and fill out forms neatly.
Arizona Nursing Scholarships
The American Legion Auxiliary of Arizona provides both a nursing-specific scholarship and a health care professions scholarship to Arizona residents. Awards vary in amount, with $400 being the minimum health care professions amount and $500 being the set amount of nursing-specific awards.
Priority is given to students with financial need who have an immediate family member that is a veteran. The number of these single-year awards varies, and the funds must be used at an Arizona school with an accredited two- or four-year nursing program.
The Arizona Nurses Foundation provides 18 awards annually. Amounts range from $500 to $1,000, and are renewable for up to four years of study. Applications are accepted in both fall and spring for the following semesters.
California Nursing Scholarships
The California division of the American Legion Auxiliary provides a yearly scholarship of $2,000 to a California resident. The award recipient must either be a veteran or a member of a family with a veteran. The single-year award is provided to a student beginning or continuing in studies in nursing. As organization funds permit, additional awards may be granted.
The Emergency Nurses Association of California offers a new $5,000 scholarship with one-year duration. The award is granted to a paramedic or EMP who is working toward earning a nursing degree. This scholarship is given in honor of Brian Stow, a paramedic from San Francisco. Stow was brutally attacked at a Los Angeles Dodgers game for his loyalty to the opposing team, the Giants.
Colorado Nursing Scholarships
As in the case of many states, the American Legion Auxiliary sponsors one-year awards ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 that are non-renewable.

Florida Nursing Scholarships
The Florida Nurses Foundation provides a varied number of scholarships each year. Duration may be a year or a semester, and the number of scholarships varies each year.

State residency isn’t a condition of receiving this award.

Private Companies and Foundations with Nursing Scholarships
Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson is a company particularly dedicated to supporting the nursing profession through education and finance. Discover Nursing is a public awareness program in the United States that focuses on attracting and retaining nursing professionals. The website includes current news about the nursing profession, an overview of nursing careers and educational programs, and an extensive database of nursing scholarships and financial aid options for those needing scholarship or grant assistance in the field.
Johnson & Johnson partners with organizations like the Foundation of the National Student Nurses’ Association for raise funds for scholarships. This foundation was established in 1969, and emphasizes educational and charitable activities. The organization provides a variety of nursing scholarships funded by events that Johnson & Johnson sponsors.
The search for scholarships at the Discover Nursing site is extensive, with the ability to refine according to state, GPA, ethnicity, and student status. Specific search terms can be used to refine your search further.
In all, the site lists hundreds of nursing scholarship opportunities for students. A separate search page is available to peruse extensive funding options, including grants and tuition reimbursement programs. Again, this search can be refined to make it easier to tailor results to your specific interests or status.

As is evident, there are a host of state-sponsored nursing scholarships and financial aid incentives. The recurring American Legion and nursing foundation awards suggest that if your specific state isn’t mentioned, it would be beneficial to explore the websites or contact the leaders of such entities to inquire about similar programs. American Legion scholarships of various types are often available for descendants of members.
Nursing Organizations Providing Scholarships
Nursing organizations are well aware of critical areas of need and may be best poised to direct future nurses toward financial aid opportunities in their states. At the national level, there are many more nursing scholarship opportunities. Some of these are aimed at a general audience while others are particularly intended for women. Some are aimed at a general nursing program, and others are specifically intended for specialty fields of study.
In many cases, nursing non-profit organizations sponsor scholarships in order to attract quality nurses to the profession and in order to assist colleagues in the pursuit of further nursing education. Additional nursing scholarships come from health care related non-profit organizations. Some of these awards are as follows:
- Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses Foundation: $500 awards are provided to nursing students at a variety of stages in their educations, with the stipulation that applicants have been members of the foundation for at least one year.
- American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Foundation: Awards of $1,000 and $1,500 are available to members or student members who are enrolled in nurse practitioner programs at various levels.

Employer-Provided Financial Aid
Many employers are interested in the development of the professionals working for them. Whether you work for a major health care company or for a local hospital, be sure to explore any financial incentives offered for continuing nursing education. In many instances, employers will provide part or all of the costs for studies that will directly impact their opportunity to better serve their clients. Explore your company website for additional information or make an appointment with your supervisor or with the human resources department.
The search for scholarship funding for nursing studies can seem overwhelming at the outset. It is important to evaluate a variety of avenues, and it is especially important to begin your search early.
Deadlines for scholarship applications are usually early in the semester preceding your anticipated entry into a program. Forms should be completed as neatly as possible. Attention to application details is imperative. Sending the wrong information or addressing your application to the wrong office or individual can mean an automatic rejection.
It’s helpful to keep in mind that though some awards seem too small to make much difference in your educational costs, every little bit matters. When you begin your studies, explore opportunities for further scholarship assistance and financial aid through your actual college or university. Some of these may be specifically tied to nursing, while others may be linked to your participation in campus organizations. Be aware of awards programs and competitions available on campus, and take advantage of these unique opportunities to stretch your educational dollars.

I am a 53 yr. old woman who has lived in Florida since 1992. i am recently divorced after 28 yrs. and have been left with $11,000.00 per yr. I am trying very hard to pursue an R.N. (then B.S.) and have registered for the 1st of 2014. My son rotates with me and I receive no child support. I do not have a car of my own and borrow one with 200,000 miles on it. I am desperate for some assistance. For me Nursing will fill that empty spot I have always wanted to do. I have taken care of people all my life and would find it rewarding helping people who are in need whether a patient is sad and alone, mad, or they just want to be recognized that they are not just a dollar figure. I sincerely need help to fulfill being an R.N. not just for the money (even though I am in need extremely bad) but knowing at the end of the day I made someones life a little better. Any assistance would be extremely thankful. Thank you taking the time to read this.

Hello I’ve been a RN for 17 years now have done everything from Peds, to ER and everything in between. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had the DIEP reconstruction with several complications and residual effects left over from the cancer. With all the complications that I have still, it’s very difficult to work the nursing schedules that are required of us. Plus I can no longer perform the physical aspects of the traditional nursing positions. I would like to return to school for additional training so that I may enter a less stressful, less physical nursing position. I have been on disability but would really like to return to the workforce. Without the continuing education no one will hire me, I’ve been gone too long. Please try to help me.
