Newton Medical Center BSN/MSN/DNP/PhD Scholarship Program

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.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.

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
Up to 15 total awards will be granted. BSN awards will be for $2,000; MSN, DNP and PhD awards will be for $2,500. 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
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, and two letters of support. Financial need is not considered.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Newton Medical Center Foundation play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

Notification
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.

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Newton Medical Center Foundation. Payments are made in one installment in August.
