Scholarships can be very competitive, but they do not need to be paid back and are an excellent way to help finance your education.<br />Some scholarships may have restrictions, such as applying to a specific course of study or active involvement in an organization or group. Some scholarships apply to general education (such as athletic scholarships), but usually a certain grade point average needs to be maintained to keep these types of scholarships.<br />For nursing students, the professional associations for your specialty may give scholarships to qualified individuals. For example, the Oncology Nursing Society offers scholarships to students pursuing a master’s, doctorate or post-master’s certificate. Some of the best scholarship resources, however, can be religious organizations, private and public schools, small businesses, large corporations, community groups, generous individuals or philanthropic foundations.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">For more information, visit these nursing scholarship resources:<br />American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) financial aid resources:</span><br /><a onclick="return goTo('http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/financialaid.htm#aacnresources')" href="http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/financialaid.htm#aacnresources"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/financialaid.htm#aacnresources</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Scholarship searching resource: </span><br /><a onclick="return goTo('http://www.scholarshipexperts.com/signup.jsp?sourceid=254868')" href="http://www.scholarshipexperts.com/signup.jsp?sourceid=254868"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.scholarshipexperts.com/signup.jsp?sourceid=254868</span></a><br /></span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3480405110237167382-431813045240532148?l=nursingscholarships.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Baron.
