Nurse Scholars Program (NSP)

(FELS – repealed but renewable)

The NSP is a competitive, merit-based scholarship/loan program available to students who have chosen to enter the nursing profession. An 11-member Nurse Scholars Commission selects recipients for the award on the basis of superior academics, leadership potential, and desire to practice nursing on a full-time basis in North Carolina.

Eligibility: Applicants must

• Be NC residents for tuition purposes
• Plan to enter a nursing program at a North Carolina college, university, or hospital that offers nurse education programs which prepare students for licensure as Registered Nurses (RN’s)
• Financial need is not a criterion.
