Who Can Apply:
- Nursing not only provides a vital service to the community, but it also offers a unique opportunity for individuals to build a foundation for wealth-building, real estate investing, and entrepreneurship.
- The nursing profession is a gateway. It provides the stability and income necessary to launch other ventures—whether that is investing in real estate, starting a business, or building a legacy for one’s family. It’s crucial for this window of opportunity to be available to all students to seek it. Students who are traditionally underrepresented in the financial and investment space may struggle to pay for college, closing them off to careers that could launch their financial independence.
- This scholarship aims to support ambitious nursing students who view the profession as more than just a healthcare role, but as a platform for lifelong impact and financial independence.
- Any undergraduate student pursuing nursing may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they demonstrate a high level of dedication to the nursing craft and if they have an interest in financial literacy. Applicants should plan to use their nursing income to invest in their future and in their community, understanding the importance of leveraging a stable career to achieve broader lifestyle and financial goals.
Submission: To apply, submit a video essay in response to the prompt below. Submit a link to your video as a public YouTube link or a Google Drive link. Settings should be set to “public” or “anyone with the link can view.” If we can’t access your video, your application won’t be considered.
- At its core, nursing is a profession of service, but it is also a powerful platform for personal and financial freedom. In a two-to-four-minute video, please introduce yourself and answer the following:
- The Vision: Beyond clinical excellence, how do you plan to use your nursing career as a ‘springboard’ to build a life of independence (e.g., real estate, entrepreneurship, or financial literacy)?
- The Impact: How will achieving financial freedom through nursing allow you to better serve your community or your future patients?
- The Strategy: What is one ‘boring’ or unconventional investment or business idea you are currently interested in pursuing once you have the stability of a nursing salary?
