Newton Medical Center BSN/MSN/DNP/PhD Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Newton Medical Center Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist employees who plan to continue their education in a BSN, MSN, DNP, or PhD program.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the Newton Medical Center BSN/MSN/DNP/PhD Scholarship Program must:

  • Be a part-time or full-time employee who has a minimum of one (1) year of employment with Newton Medical Center as of the application deadline date.
  • Be accepted into or currently enrolled in a part-time or full-time BSN, MSN, DNP, or PhD program at an accredited four-year college or university for the entire upcoming academic year.
  • Have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent).

Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,500 award. Up to 12 awards will be granted. Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are for BSN, MSN, DNP, or PhD study only.

Selection of Recipients

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities

Applicants will be notified in mid-July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
