COVID-19 Nursing Student Support Fund

“As the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, we all have witnessed the critical roles nurses play in providing highly skilled and compassionate care to patients at their most vulnerable moments,” said Jane Blaustein, Vice President and Trustee of the Morton K. and Jane Blaustein Foundation. “We are proud to support this effort that helps to ensure that a new generation of nurses will be there to help fight the coronavirus and future threats to our public’s health.”

The COVID-19 Nursing Student Support Fund provides one-time grants to nursing students enrolled in AACN member schools who need financial support to complete their nursing programs and/or meet life expenses. Priority is given to entry-level students in baccalaureate and master’s programs in the final two semesters of their nursing programs. Applications also will be accepted from students in baccalaureate degree completion programs, traditional master’s, and doctoral programs.
New Funding Available to Nursing Students

With an additional $47,500 in funding available, 95 awards in the amount of $500 will be made directly to nursing students, with the goal of funding students in every state. All applications will be reviewed, and recipients will be selected by AACN with funds distributed via its philanthropic arm. Students interested in applying for an award must complete an online application posted on the AACN website. Students applying must be enrolled full-time in an AACN member school and provide contact information for their advisor who can confirm that the student is in good standing.
