Grants for Minority Nursing Students

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nursing is a field that experiences shortages of minorities and highly trained and educated professionals. Minority nursing students do not pursue careers in nursing enough to have a significant presence and they are often underrepresented. Numerous grants and scholarship programs are available to draw minority groups to the nursing field and diversify the nursing profession.
