Nursing Scholarship

$ 50,000   120 opportunities

Increasing scholarship support for our students is among YSN’s highest priorities. Yale nursing students graduate with an average debt burden of $79,200, significantly disproportionate to their future income potential. While an increasing number of students qualify for financial aid, most finance their education through a combination of public funding, scholarships, and private loans. With decreasing public support and an average YSN scholarship of only $7,400, students have little choice but to increase the amount of their private loan. An endowed student scholarship provides critical financial aid in perpetuity and helps YSN to remain competitive and continue to recruit the best and brightest students.
