The San Diego Black Nurses Association Scholarship is open to nursing students at all levels, including Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and those pursuing advanced degrees in Nursing.
Applicants must commit to maintaining active chapter membership in the year following the scholarship award.
Scholarship application review is holistic, considering academic performance, community service in alignment with SDBNA mission and vision, career aspirations, and essay submission.
Recognizing that membership dues may be burdensome for students and new graduate nurses who wish to become involved in SDBNA, a limited number of reimbursement scholarships are sponsored each year.
Applicants with paid memberships who have demonstrated active participation in meeting attendance, community service events, and committees may apply for reimbursement of chapter dues.
NBNA also offers scholarships. Awards are distributed annually at the national conference. These are awarded are at the discretion of NBNA.
