Scholarships For Student Pursuing A Health-Related Career

Scholarships come from many different organizations including non-profit organizations and the government however this is a scholarship program being offered by a big business corporation!

There is an annual scholarship program for secondary education students who are pursuing a career in the health industry. The grant program was started to help provide students with access to the best education as they prepare for a career in the health industry.

The Government Doesn't Care About Nurses?

Unfortunately when peop;e don't know (or don't have) the right information about grants they come to their own conclusions. Here is a reply that I posted to some who said that the government didn't care about nurses:

Unfortunately this is not true. As someone that does grant research I can tell you that there are many grant and scholarship programs out there for nurses and the reason is because of the shortage of and the need for nurses.

There are also programs that provide financial help for single mothers. My very first grant research client was a single mother who was looking for financial help with both starting her own business and continuing her education. Since this was a few years back I was able to find her 4 such programs that provided finacial assistance including providing financial help with her student loan. Yes there is actually an organization out there devoted to helping single mothers financially with their student loans.

Just because you can't find the information about these programs doesn't mean that they don't exist - it just means that you haven't found the information yet.

Nursing Scholarship Program!

There is a critical shortage of nurses so that is why there is this scholarship program. If you have been accepted to or are currently enrolled in an accredited school of nursing (either full-time or part time) then you may be eligible for this scholarship program.

You must be a US citizen and unlike some of the grant programs that are out there you must not have any federal judgements against you. Special consideration will be made for those eligible applicants who have a financial need! You must also agree to work at a health care facility that has a critical shortage of nurses.

This scholarship program will pay your:

• tuition and other related required fees
  

• books and other related supplies including lavatory and clinical expenses
  

  and
  

• you get a monthly stipend of over $1,000.00 per month!

Over 100 of these scholarships have already been awarded!

You can either contact them by email or by phone.
