The NBNA Scholarship Program offers 14 scholarships each year to students pursuing a career in nursing who are members of the National Black Nurses Association, Inc. The scholarships are based on merit and financial need.
Eligible students must be enrolled full-time at a two-year or four-year college or university pursuing a Bachelors, Associate, or L.P.N. degree with at least one year of school remaining.

The organization serves the needs of over 150,000 African-American nurses in the U.S. The deadline for this scholarship is usually in APRIL of each year, and the award amount is usually $1,000 - $5,000.
