Scholarships and Awards
Student awards are a way for Bloomberg Nursing to recognize outstanding student achievements and provide valuable financial assistance to students in need allowing them to focus on their studies.
Awards can be in the form of scholarships or bursaries and recognize a range of achievements including academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, leadership and commitment to the nursing profession.
Our supportive Bloomberg Nursing alumni have made many of these awards and scholarships possible, and their continued generosity helps shape the nursing leaders of tomorrow.
