Healthcare Scholarship: Nursing Economics Foundation
The Nursing Economics scholarship is unusual, in that, you must already be a registered nurse, pursuing an advanced nursing administration degree.
Scholarship Overview
Nursing Economics, a journal for health care leaders, annually announces its Nursing Economics Foundation Scholarships. These scholarships, unlike other nursing scholarships, are available solely to nurses like you, who have already earned their R.N., and who are pursuing their masters or doctoral nursing degrees. In addition, if you apply for this scholarship, you must plan to work in nursing management or administration.
