Nursing Student Retention Scholarship Program
To address the shortage of nurses in Mississippi, the Office of Nursing Workforce has established a new Nursing Student Retention Scholarship Program (NSRSP). The program provides scholarship opportunities to all nursing students and nurses in the state of Mississippi who are pursuing degrees in nursing. The goal of the program is to attract and retain nurses here in our state. The program targets students at all levels of nursing and the funds can be used to cover the cost of educated-related expenses, including tuition, fees, supplies, textbooks, and housing. Students selected as recipients of receiving this award must complete their nursing degree and agree to practice nursing in the state of Mississippi for a certain period.
Application Process - We are no longer accepting NSRSP applications for the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters. For more information about the program, contact us at (601) 957-6300.
We are excited to share that we've awarded $100,000 in scholarships to twenty-four students in various nursing programs. Congratulations to all of the hard-working students who were awarded scholarships this year!
to our 2022 recipient winners!
