scholarships for nursing programs?

[Vincent_]

Hey everyone,

I finished my undergraduate degree in may 2012 and I have finally decided to change my career route due to personal reasons and go to nursing. Once obtaining my bsn degree I hope to eventually pursue the NP or CRNA degree.

I have a solid 3.9 gpa because I was previously a pre-med student.

I was wondering if there are any scholarships for nursing programs?

I was thinking of applying to accelerated programs such as the ones in SUNY downstate, Hunter-bellevue, and NYU, however NYU is quite expensive, and SBU 1 year program is great but way too far from where I live (brooklyn).

I'm debating on applying for the regular 2 year programs as well but i feel in my case the accelerated programs fit my situation and that I am competitive enough.

Any advice and recommendations will help!
