Scholarship Overview (For Reference)
How much did the Nurses for Our Future Scholarship cover?
The scholarship covered tuition for either an associate or bachelor’s degree in nursing. It applied to the actual tuition charged by a SUNY or CUNY school but did not cover non-tuition fees such as room and board, books, technology fees, or other related expenses.
Who was eligible?
The scholarship was open to new or current health care workers pursuing:
- An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) at a SUNY community or technology college
- A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at a SUNY college
Both full-time and part-time students could apply, with awards prorated for part-time students. However, applicants with family members working for SUNY, CUNY, HESC, or the Executive Chamber were ineligible.
Was the scholarship guaranteed?
No, the scholarship was awarded through a drawing. A total of 1,000 scholarships were distributed as follows:
- Up to 500 for out-of-state nurses relocating to New York to earn a BSN and practice in the state
- Up to 250 for New York residents pursuing an ADN for the first time
- Up to 250 for New York RNs pursuing a BSN at SUNY or CUNY
