Nursing Grants

Nursing Grants

Nurse grants and scholarships offer students pursuing careers in nursing, or registered nurses who want to further their careers, a chance to do just that while saving money. Most of these grants apply to students in a specific region, who are studying in a specialized field of nursing, or who belong to a specific minority group. These grant and scholarship opportunities are in place to further the advancement of students in their nursing careers.
