About This Scholarship

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the national voice for academic nursing education, partners with NCLEX-prep company Hurst Review Services on a $2,500 scholarship awarded twice a year to a nursing student. AACN represents hundreds of member schools of nursing nationwide, and enrollment at one of them is the core eligibility requirement.

The academic bar is a 3.2 GPA in your current program (or at the last school you attended), and you must be currently enrolled in a nursing program when you apply. Because AACN member institutions span baccalaureate through doctoral education, both undergraduate and graduate nursing students can compete.

Applications go through AACN's secure online portal during two windows each year: a summer cycle that opens July 1 and closes September 1, and a winter cycle that opens December 1 and closes February 1. There is no application fee.

Eligibility

  • Enrolled at an AACN member school of nursing
  • Currently enrolled in a nursing program
  • Minimum 3.2 GPA in your current program or at the last school attended

How To Apply

  • Confirm your school is an AACN member institution
  • Submit the application through AACN's secure online portal before the cycle closes September 1
  • Questions go to the AACN Foundation's scholarship program manager (contact listed on the scholarship page)

Why Trust The College Investor

The College Investor has helped millions of readers navigate paying for college and student loans since 2009. Every scholarship in our database is individually reviewed by our team before it goes live, and re-checked regularly so deadlines and links stay current.

Our Scholarship Standards

A listing here means our team checked that the award is real, currently active, and actually pays out. We won't list a scholarship that:

  • Charges any kind of fee to apply
  • Makes you join a paid membership, or sign up for an app or service, just to be eligible
  • Has a privacy policy that would let the sponsor sell or misuse your information
  • Collects essays, ideas, or contact details mainly to feed the sponsor's marketing
  • Can't show a winner from the past 12 months, or offers no way to reach the sponsor

One nuance: established companies and nonprofits that run applications through their own systems may still be listed, even though creating an account there is part of applying.
