Scholarship Description

There is currently a shortage of nurses in the US, and the median student debt for nurses completing graduate school is $40,000-$55,000. Additionally, more than 70% of nurses graduate with student debt, and 25% of nurses older than 55 still have student debt. Now, in the midst of a global pandemic, our nurses are on the frontlines, fighting on a daily basis to stop the spread of coronavirus that is crippling our nation. Despite this, as some hospitals reduce or halt elective procedures, some nurses have seen their incomes drop during a period in which they have never been more essential.
