The Colorado Nurses Foundation’s mission is to advance nursing in Colorado. One of the ways we accomplish our mission is through our Scholarship Program. RNs seeking advanced education and students who have been admitted to an approved nursing program in the State of Colorado are encouraged to apply for scholarships.

If you are interested in applying, or know someone who would be an appropriate recipient, please share this web page with them. If you meet the requirements, please complete the online application form. The application window opened September 1 and closes at the end of October. Scholarship recipients are announced in December, and the scholarships are funded in January.  For more information and to apply please go to:  Apply for a Scholarship — COLORADO NURSES FOUNDATION
