Scholarships: Tips for Success!!

Hello new and continuing nursing students! My name is Laureen Lampert and I am the Scholarship and Recruitment Officer for New York University College of Nursing (NYUCN). As the start of the academic year approaches, I wanted to share a few tips about applying to NYUCN and outside scholarships.

Five Tips for NYUCN and Outside Scholarships

1) Be proactive and self-advocate! Don’t be afraid to ask about scholarships.

2) Be your “own” researcher! For example, set up a Google alert on nursing scholarships.

3) Join a professional nursing group and apply to scholarships through the organization (examples include: National Student Nurse Association, NSNA, and National Association of Hispanic Nurses, NAHN)

4) Update your resume frequently. Your resume helps to tell your professional story and should reflect your current accomplishments and past achievements.

5) Complete the FAFSA every year by March 1, the NYU deadline!
