FON Scholarships

Scholarship Value: $2,500
Awards Available: 27

Since 1981 we have awarded more than $1 million in nursing student scholarships.

Founded in 1981 the Friends of Nursing, a nonprofit 501c(3) organization, is dedicated to advancing professional nursing through scholarship support of baccalaureate and higher degree nursing students. FON has no paid staff and accomplishes its work entirely though the efforts of its members, donors and other supportive volunteers. Funds for the scholarship awards each year are raised through membership dues, various ticketed events, the generosity of members and donors, and investments.

A) Adams State University - Alamosa

3) Students must have a 3.0 or higher GPA.

4) Students must create an account on this website with their email address as Username and Password of their choosing. The purpose of the account is to allow you to work on the forms on your own schedule. The account is password protected ensuring confidentially and security.
