The Bachelor of Science Nursing Scholarship is available to California
residents who have been accepted in a bachelor of science nursing
program. To be eligible for this award, you must be a full- or part-time
student (no less than six units) at an accredited California school,
have a minimum 2.0 GPA, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and
agree to complete a two-year service obligation to practice in a
medically underserved area of California as an RN providing direct
patient care. Priority will be given to students who will be graduating
within one to two years and individuals whose community background and
commitment indicates the likelihood of long-term employment in a
medically underserved area even after the service obligation has ended.
Selection is based on work experience, financial need, career goals,
community service, community background and academic performance.
The deadline dates are March 24 for the spring application and September
8 for the fall application. Please visit the sponsor's Web site for
additional information.
