The Gladys Carol Scholarship Program’s goal is to financially assist high school seniors and graduates, and current undergraduate students who will be or are pursuing a STEM degree. The program awards one $2,500 award, which can be renewed for a second $2,500 award for a consecutive year of study if students meet certain prerequisites.
EveryNurse is dedicated to helping nursing students better understand their financial aid options and providing financial aid for students to further their education.
