Irish Descent Nursing Scholarships

Although most college scholarships are merit-based, a number of scholarship opportunities are available to graduate and undergraduate students with specific ethnic backgrounds. Students of Irish descent can apply for scholarships from some American colleges to assist with nursing studies and general support. Endowed by families of Irish descent, these scholarships provide assistance for high achieving students with their professional and personal goals.
