Scholarships for Male Nurses

RNPATL, DNP, RN · Dec 29, 2004

Is it true that there are more scholarships available for would-be male nurses? If so, which ones are the best to apply for?

When you find them, please let me know. I have been looking for scholarships geared to nurses that happen to be men for years to no avail. So, I would be very interested when you locate even one. Good luck. :)

Good luck on that one. I have searched for some time and found none that exist.

Can I get a scholarship because I'm female? :chuckle

Good luck in your search for any scholarship! :)

LOL. Maybe i should have rephrased. My aunt's a nurse- she told me that there's a lot of money out there in scholarships for male nurses. Which ones should I apply for?

i know that the men that i have worked with said that they got grants and scholarships d/t the fact that they were a minority in the profession...i don't know specificly where they went to get them...check with school and over they net and at your local library

hate to see money unused that could help someone improve themselves

Haven't seen any, but it would be nice.

I do have a problem with that though. It seems wrong.

I don't want to open a huge can of worms but I do too. Kind of like minorities or women getting huge amounts of money to start a business.

I agree too, but hey, if it means getting your education paid for, JUMP ON IT!!!! :chuckle

Have you looked at DiscoverNursing.com? That website has scholarship info. Good luck!
