American Indian Nurse Scholarship Award Program 2023-2024

American Indian Nurse Scholarship Award Program 2023-2024

The American Indian Nurse Scholarship Program was created by the Pennsylvania Society in 1928 and became a national project by the NSCDA in the 1930s to enable students of Native American descent to pursue careers in nursing. The students are anticipated to return to work among their people to help improve health care, and reservations, and find employment in hospitals in areas largely populated by American Indians. The scholarship program was Intended originally to benefit females only, but the program has expanded to include males and the career goals now include not only nursing careers, but jobs in health care and health education, as well. The current goal of the scholarship program is to award $1,500 in scholarships each semester as long as students maintain good academic performance since the money from the scholarship is restricted to tuition and specific academic expenses.
