Gallagher Koster Health Careers Scholarship

Open to undergraduate students in nursing and other healthcare fields, the Gallagher Koster scholarship awards five students with $5,000. The scholarship is open to juniors and seniors in four-year programs; if you're in a two- or three-year program, check the eligibility guidelines.
  

This scholarship program focusing on health was established in 1998 as the CBC partnered with the naming sponsor, General Mills, to increase the number of minority students pursuing degrees in the fields of medicine, engineering, technology, nutrition and other health-related professions. Since the inception of the program, General Mills has invested more than $1,000,000 to underwrite this initiative. The General Mills Health Scholarship has served hundreds of students over the years, and has helped to create leaders in the medical and health related fields.
Deadline: May 31, 2012

The U.S. Health and Human Services Agency's HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program is taking applications until May 8, and if you're a student with financial need who's enrolled in or accepted to a nursing program, it could pay off in a big way. The scholarship covers full tuition and provides textbook and living expense stipends. Last year, nearly 400 applicants benefited from the program. 

The only catch: If you're chosen as a recipient, you also commit to working for a minimum of two years after graduation at what HHS calls a "critical shortage facility," which includes public hospitals, rural health clinics, hospice providers, and other institutions that face a shortage of qualified nurses. Check out all the fine print before you apply, but don't let it dissuade you from a tremendous opportunity.



Nurses of Tomorrow Scholarship is providing three $1,000 awards to qualified nursing students with financial need. The program, funded by Medical Solutions and their Traveling Nurses, asks applicants to answer the question, "How would you define a Nurse?"



If you have a 2.75 or higher GPA, financial need, and a good community service background, head over and submit your application. The program kicks off during National Nurses Week and has a June 5 deadline.
