Where might i find good information on Nursing Scholarships other than looking on a search engine?

Answer 1

The best approach is using several approaches to locating money for your nursing education. There is a combination of both public and private scholarship and grant monies out there. I will list several free sources to locate college tuition.

First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.

Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.

Fourth, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 of your senior year of high school. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program.

Fifth, states do offer grant and scholarships for future nurses. They can be located by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com with your state's name and nursing.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!

WIA funding is only guaranteed if you fit certain categories. For youth, there is the apprenticeship and disabled worker programs. For adults, you have to be either a dislocated/displaced worker from an industry who left the area or disabled. There is help for those who want to get off of the welfare rolls. I have included a link to the various programs out there for WIA.

This is a pretty much guaranteed scholarship, as long as you work in a medical facility. It doesn't matter what you do there, just as long as you work there (you could work in the kitchen or housekeeping). Look up the WIA program in you're state (workforce investment act). It's a federal program that pays for schooling for in demand jobs. WIA covers you're entire tuition, fees, books, uniforms, nursing supplies and even gives you gas cards every month. You don't have to financially qualify or anything. All you have to do is be accepted into the nursing program and take 2 tests, the TABE and SAGE. The tabe is just an academic test, and you have to score at 11th grade. The sage is just a dexterity test, and the results don't matter for our profession. It would if you went for something like truck driving. After that, they pay for it. You have to call once a month to let them know you're still in school, and you have to show up and turn in an attendance sheet (to show them you've been going) once a month and that's when you get you're gas cards. Like I said before, it's a federal program, so they should have it in every state. Where I am in FL, it's through a place called JOBS ETC. This program is the best. You don't even owe them anything in the end. There are no contracts or anything. You could still apply for other scholarships and pocket that money. Look it up and go for it. It doesn't make sense not to. Feel free to email me if you (or anyone) has any questions about it. I'd be glad to talk to you.
