The recipient must be a nursing major and accepted into the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at UW-Eau Claire. The student must be full-time, a citizen of the United States of America and a junior, senior, graduate or RN/BSN completion candidate. The recipient should demonstrate good potential for a career in nursing. Financial need may be considered. A junior recipient may be granted another award in the senior year if satisfactory progress has been made.

Application Forms: Students who are admitted to the nursing program at UW-Eau Claire will receive an email in late February/early March when the scholarship application is ready and available. The email will include the path to the online application forms located on the Department of Nursing website – www.uwec.edu/CONHS/students/nursscholarships.htm. Part One is filled online and submitted electronically. Part Two (the essay and activities form) is filled online and printed off, signed and submitted to the Dean’s Assistant Office, Nursing 103, by the deadline. The essay must address the eligibility criteria for each of the scholarships that you are applying for. Only one written essay of no more than 300 words will be accepted.

The Scholarship committee will review applications and make recommendations for initial and continuing recipients.
