Scholarship For Nursing
Graduating from high school is one of the most exciting times in a young adult’s life. The next step is choosing the right nursing program that will give you the education and training required to be successful in this rapidly growing field. But, because of the increasing costs of college, many people find it hard to afford a post-secondary education. However, there are many kinds of financial assistance available to help you on your path to a nursing career.
The Community Foundation of West Texas is offering a number of scholarships created through the generosity of individuals, families and businesses in our community for which students can apply.
The following scholarships are endowed funds within the Foundation. The application process may vary depending on whether recipients are chosen by a Foundation committee or by an external scholarship committee.
The scholarship payments are always paid directly to the educational institution and cannot be used for other expenses. Those funds that are not used during the academic year are returned to the Foundation. learn about RN to MSN online programs here.

WiseGeek Mental Health Wellbeing Scholarship
WiseGeek Mental Health Well-Being Scholarship
The WiseGeek Mental Health Well-Being Scholarship is a $500 scholarship open to college students who have experienced challenges with mental health or had those close to them who have experienced mental health challenges.
About the Scholarship
College students often face great stress. The transition to adulthood is a time of significant change and can challenge a student’s emotional health and well-being.
Whether it’s the pressure to make the honor roll or just fit in with a friend group, it’s important to give students the support and guidance they need to cope with the stress of college. This is especially important given the global pandemic which has added a new set of challenges for college students to confront.
The WiseGeek Mental Health Well-Being Scholarship is meant to provide awareness to mental health challenges and assist those who have had to face those issues with a $500 award to help pay their tuition.
