Millersville Receives Nursing Grant

Nursing students at Millersville University will receive help with their tuition, thanks to the Pennsylvania Higher Education Foundation (PHEF). The University was recently selected to receive the Nursing Education Grant from the PHEF in the amount of $10,849.

“The grant is targeted specifically for the registered nurse bachelor of science in nursing students and the master of science in nursing, nurse educator option,” said Dr. Barbara Zimmerman, nursing.

To receive funds, nursing students must submit a nursing scholarship application along with a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Department of Nursing admissions/awards committee will meet to review the criteria of the grant and the applicants who qualify. Awards are given based on need; the grant is for tuition only.

According to the PHEF, one of its goals was closing the gap between demand and the nursing resources available, to serve Pennsylvanians across the spectrum of health care settings. The grant and scholarship program has assisted in producing nursing majors, direct care nurses and nurse educators for the Commonwealth. This is the last year of grants from all PHEF programs because the Foundation is currently winding down operations.
