Mount Carmel College of Nursing Endowed Scholarships
Through generous support of donors, MCCN is privileged to offer numerous scholarship opportunities to our students. These scholarships are funded directly from donor gifts and awarded through an annual application process. These awards are intended to provide supplemental funding to Mount Carmel College of Nursing Students.
Students will be notified each year (primarily through Nightingmail) when the Scholarship link will be available and instructions for application. All returning students are encouraged to apply. The link will only remain available for a limited time as indicated in the annual email notification.
Scholarship recipients will be selected by the Scholarship Committee and will be notified of award through a revised award notification. An annual dinner for donors and recipients is held in the fall and recipients will receive additional information on this event from the MCCN Advancement Office.
Award amounts may vary from year to year depending on current donations and/or market fluctuations.
Listed below are the scholarships that currently enrolled students will be able to apply for during the Scholarship Application period in February of each year.
