$250,000 largest award

Nov 11, 2026 next deadline

Our catalog lists 3416 active awards for Nursing students — scholarships, grants, fellowships, and other student funding. Awards range up to $250,000. Each listing links to the official application so you always apply through the real sponsor — never a paid middleman.

Nursing scholarships and grants often reward more than grades. Professional associations, employers, and university departments fund students who show genuine commitment to the field — through projects, internships, competitions, or community work. Tailor each essay to the sponsor's mission rather than reusing one generic statement.

Start a 14-day free trial to get a personalized fit score on every scholarship below, deadline reminders, and a checklist that keeps each application on track.

Frequently asked questions

Who offers Nursing scholarships?

Professional associations, employers, university departments, and private foundations all fund Nursing students. We aggregate them so you can apply from one place.

Do I need a declared major to apply for Nursing scholarships?

Usually a stated intent to study the field is enough. Many awards accept high school seniors who plan to pursue the major in college.

Does Scholarship Wizard charge to apply?

No. You always apply directly on the sponsor's official page, and legitimate scholarships never charge an application fee. A Scholarship Wizard subscription pays for matching, essay help, and deadline tracking, never for the right to apply.
