A student researches nursing scholarships to pay for school.

Nursing school can be expensive. The good news is that if you need help, there are scholarships out there for students seeking associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Nursing scholarships and grants can be funded by private foundations, colleges, professional organizations, and government agencies to help students and professionals fund their education.

Nursing school tuition can range from $6,000 for an associate’s degree to more than $100,000 for PhD and DNP degrees. Yet despite the cost of school, nursing remains one of the best majors for getting a stable job after graduation — and scholarships for nursing students can make it easier to graduate with less student debt.

If you’re on the hunt for a nurse scholarship, you might want to check out opportunities from your state’s nursing board and your nursing school. The more local a scholarship is, the more likely the odds will be in your favor. On the other hand, these awards may be smaller. National scholarships through professional organizations and corporations will be more competitive but generally have a larger payout.

Another way to get loan forgiveness is through work-agreement programs. States that have a critical need for nurses and educators will pay down your educational debt when you commit to working within the state. These are available in states like Nebraska, Maine, Vermont, and others.

If you’re looking for information on a nursing scholarship, loan forgiveness program, or educational grant, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of opportunities that you might be eligible for. Awards range from $700 to full-ride nursing scholarships and complete tuition forgiveness. Here are 50 nursing scholarships you don’t want to miss.
