Centra Foundation Scholarship
Through the generous gifts of multiple donors, the Centra Foundation offers scholarship funding to eligible PN, ADN, and RN-BSN students. Applicants must have successfully completed all first semester courses in their current program and enroll in at least one course for the awarding semester (a consortium agreement is needed for co-requisite courses). The application is required for first time eligible applicants for their current program and only one application is needed per program once approved. The Centra Foundation Scholarship Application is made available on Moodle to current students prior to the start of each semester.
Outside scholarships
Outside Scholarships are awarded by organizations or institutions outside of Centra College. Students are encouraged to review each scholarship opportunity carefully and notify the Financial Aid Office if approved for a scholarship. When searching for scholarships, please keep in mind that scholarship applications should be free and services that charge either to search for scholarships or to submit applications may be scams.
