The UMKC School of Nursing will begin awarding scholarships this fall and plans to award a minimum of five scholarships over the next two years. The goal of the scholarship is to ease the financial strain that some nursing students face while completing their nursing curriculum, UMKC School of Nursing said Assistant Dean Cordelia Esry. She added that the scholarship could be an option for students who contemplate dropping classes each semester because of financial difficulties. UMKC School of Nursing received one of three types of grants that the national fund awards. The scholarship is open to all registered UMKC nursing students.
Applications are now available.
