What's the best scholarships for PA Nursing Majors ?
I've applied and gotten into over 10 colleges but they all cost some money so I've gone to Niche.com, filed my FAFSA. There is a 5k dollar PA state grant that requires you to stay in PA for 5 years after you graduate, Fastweb.com, and do research for scholarships on the school your going to so you can find out everything available to you, because college does cost.

Hi Justin,
College can be expensive and although there are a lot of nursing scholarships out there, many are for students who are already enrolled in nursing programs. To land scholarships before attending college, you might do better applying for academic scholarships (those that are available to all students, not just nursing students).
I did find some Pennsylvania nursing scholarships though. For some, the deadlines may have already passed for this year, but you can always apply next year, even if you've already started college.
The Pennsylvania Nursing Foundation Scholarship Program
(Multiple scholarships):

Good luck!
