Nursing scholarships in our directory come from national nursing sources: the foundation of the National Student Nurses Association, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and a Nurse.org list of sponsor links. Some offer one application for several awards, while others send you to each sponsor's own site to apply.
Major / Career SpecificUS nationwide1-99 scholarshipsFree
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) hub of scholarship and aid links, including federal nursing programs and partner awards. For nursing and pre-nursing students nationwide. Apply on each sponsor's site.
Best for: Nursing students, especially graduate students or those at AACN member schools, looking for nursing-specific awards in one place.
Limitation: Many AACN awards require GNSA membership or a member school, and outside awards are a link list without filters.
Start with national nursing groups. Our directory lists the NSNA Foundation, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and a Nurse.org list of nursing awards.
Do I apply in one place?
It depends on the source. The NSNA Foundation uses one portal for its undergraduate awards, while the AACN and Nurse.org lists link out to each sponsor's site.
Are there awards for graduate nursing students?
Yes. The AACN hub is especially useful for graduate students, and Nurse.org sorts its list by undergraduate and graduate study.
Do these sites cost money?
The nursing sources on this page are labeled Free, which means their scholarships were viewable without paying. Each listing shows its price label, so check it before you sign up anywhere.
