Many states offer nursing scholarships. North Carolina provides Health Career Nursing Scholarships to community college students, while Arizona residents can receive the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Arizona Nurses Scholarship.
Future nurses can get scholarships from the Department of Health and Human Services, including funds through the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students program or the National Health Service Corps.
Several accredited online colleges offer nursing scholarships, including the University of Phoenix, which awards them to both undergraduate and master's students, most of whom take classes predominantly online.
The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) provides scholarships to some members pursuing undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degrees. Scholarships are also available to non-member emergency-services personnel, such as firefighters and police officers, who wish to obtain nursing degrees.
