Since 1969, the FNSNA has sought to promote the nursing profession through scholarship, leadership and development. Individuals and organizations with an interest in nursing education have established scholarships within the FNSNA.
The FNSNA continues to expand its support for nursing education and the future of the nursing profession. Undergraduate scholarships are available to students currently enrolled in a state-approved nursing program leading to an associate degree, baccalaureate, diploma, direct-entry master’s degree, RN to BSN/MSN completion, LPN/LVN to RN, or accelerated programs.
Funds are not available for graduate study unless it is for a first degree in nursing. Matriculation means the student has applied to and has been admitted into a state approved nursing program.
