Nursing Scholarship Opportunities
There are many nursing scholarships available for nursing students at Delta College, from the Michigan Board of Nursing, Professional Nursing Organizations, Michigan State Government, and from health care agencies. Every scholarship has certain criteria the candidate must meet. Some of these scholarships require actual enrollment in clinical courses to be eligible. They generally require an explanation of why you are going into nursing and what are your goals. When information comes to us on scholarships we will immediately update this page, so review this page frequently.
Hint: When writing a scholarship paper, make sure it is written in a professional format and have someone proofread it. The Delta College Teaching and Learning Center, located in the Library, will also assist you in proofreading.
We encourage you to reach out for financial aid/scholarships right here at Delta to assist you in obtaining your nursing education. You can investigate these scholarships and other financial assistance in D101. A few of the scholarships that Delta College offers for nursing students through generous donators include:
