TIPS for Applicants:

• Remember to tell your story whenever possible. Use the narrative sections to tell as much about yourself as possible.
• Many of our scholarships are interested in students who graduated from local High Schools. Emphasis your participation in local High School activities, even if it was some time ago.
• You don't have to be studying nursing. Some of the scholarships simply want you to be enrolled in health related studies.
• The more you share the better. Don't short change yourself by leaving spaces blank or incomplete.
