The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has been granted $5 million to award $2,500 per semester scholarships to Nebraska Nursing Students.
The grants came from the American Rescue Plan Act. Any Nebraska resident currently enrolled or intending to enroll in a Nebraska Certified Nursing Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse or accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is eligible to apply.
Qualified applicants will receive scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis each semester until their nursing program is complete or the ARPA funds run out.
Upon completion of a qualified nursing program, scholarship recipients will be required to practice nursing in Nebraska for a minimum of two years. Students are encouraged to apply by clicking here
