About this scholarship
Full-time undergraduate or graduate nursing students enrolled in a state-accredited program in California or Nevada may apply. You need at least one year of school remaining, a 3.5 GPA, and U.S. citizenship or permanent residency.
Two one-time $5,000 scholarships are awarded each year, one for a California student and one for a Nevada student. Funds are paid directly to your school for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and required equipment.
Apply between September 1 and the November deadline with enrollment verification, official transcripts, two nursing faculty recommendations, and a signed release form. Finalists may interview with the committee; recipients are notified by the end of March.
Selected students serve as Bonnie Fang Foundation student ambassadors through volunteer work.
