The NFP’s Abington Alumni Association Scholarship Fund provides scholarships in support of students pursuing their nursing careers at the baccalaureate level. Assuming qualified applicants, the NFP’s scholarship committee will attempt to select at least one scholarship recipient annually who is graduating high school or entering an RN-BSN college program. However, should a strong candidate stand out in a degree level, the committee reserves the right to select from that group in lieu of selecting from each degree level.
Scholarship funds must be applied to an accredited baccalaureate nursing program or an RN-BSN program in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Current high school students must be a matriculated undergraduate nursing student in the fall of the year in which the award is given. Those students in their final year of study or who will graduate in May of the year in which the award is given are not eligible to apply. Current RN-to-BSN-completion students must have already been accepted into a degree-completion program at the time of application submission. Applicants who are not already an RN – including BS-to-BSN students/fast-track students – must have already been accepted into a basic RN program at the time of scholarship application.
