I would consider looking for potential scholarships at the University College Foundation because this is an area that many people may not know about.
Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations, manage the college endowment, but they also supervise private scholarship donations, and connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering, social sciences, humanities, STEM subjects, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Start exploring scholarship platforms like Fastweb, Scholarships.com, Scholly, Scholarships360, and Bold.org. These sites offer many opportunities for nursing and healthcare students. To make your application shine, keep your grades strong in science courses, and prepare well for entrance exams like the TEAS or HESI. Choose accredited programs that offer labs and clinical experiences. Gain valuable healthcare experience by volunteering or doing internships. Write a personal statement that shares why nursing is important to you and what you can offer. Also, get strong recommendation letters.
Look into U.S. universities like Johns Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Emory University, University of Michigan, Duke University, and Berea College. Berea College is special because of its "No-Tuition Promise," which covers tuition and often other costs for admitted students. It offers undergraduate nursing programs, though admission is competitive. By following these steps, you can boost your chances of getting into nursing school and reduce the financial burden of your education.
