Scholarships for Second Degree Students

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi,

I have been accepted into a Direct Entry Masters Program in Nursing (yayyyyy!!!!). I will start school in summer. Now I have a bigger task at hand - find money. I have looked at some scholarships, but they require you to work after you graduate. I dont have a problem with that. But I am just curious how easy it is to find a job. For any one who has taken such a scholarship, how did it work out for you?

If you have any other resources for scholarships, please provide me with some information. Thanks!!!

Congrats! I hope to be accepted into a similar program for Fall as well. Being a second degree (actually 3 - I have a BA and an expensive @ss MA) I have done TONS of research on scholarships available to us. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across any specifically for direct entry MSN students. Most are forgiveness programs, scholarships, specialized fields (oncology, geriatrics, minority nursing, etc). But should I come across any, I will mos def post. My advice - apply for any and everything you can!

Best of luck!
