New scholarships, including those for nursing students, are being established all the time. To find even more scholarships for students planning to become nurses, set up profiles on our recommended scholarship sites. These sites will match students with scholarships based on their profiles.

Remember, though, that qualifying to apply for a scholarship isn't enough. Scholarships are competitive. The student needs to submit a quality application, which usually includes a compelling essay, if they hope to be selected for the scholarship.

The American Red Cross Leaders Save Lives Program is a great way for future nurses to not only possibly earn a scholarship, but also to build their Personal Narrative around their desire to become a nurse.

In my experience, the most crucial factor determining a student's scholarship success is whether they have built a compelling Personal Narrative and translating that into application essays that grab the judge's attention.
