Nursing students are eligible to receive a R.O.N.A. scholarship award once every other year. If you didn’t receive a scholarship last year, you are welcome to apply.

You are welcome to submit an application for both scholarships. Please submit two complete application packets. Your applications will be reviewed as part of each level but a student will only receive one scholarship from R.O.N.A in any given year.
