Scholarships & Research Grants
We are proud to be the leading member organization providing scholarships specifically to nurse educators. With your help, we have more than doubled the annual funding for scholarships and research grants in the past four years and provided more than $1 million in funding over the last decade. In 2024, we awarded 17 scholarships and a total of $114,645 to nursing students across the nursing education spectrum. Your support, in addition to our partnership with Edmund Pajarillo, Amy Nichols, and Health Carousel, directly helped these students.

The NLN Foundation hosted its Fit for the Future 5K event in September. The event not only triumphed in turnout, with over 100 registrants, but also demonstrated its profound impact by raising over $13,000 to support the NLN Foundation. The vibrant atmosphere and overwhelming community support combined to create a memorable and successful experience, establishing a strong foundation event while making a significant contribution to the community.
