The NFP’s JoAnne Goss Nursing Leadership Scholarship provides scholarships to customers of the Market Cross Pub and Brewery who are students demonstrating leadership skills in their pursuit of a nursing degree. Funds are for full-time nursing students in their third or fourth year of an accredited RN, BSN, MSN, or doctoral program in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Applicants must be full-time nursing students in their third or fourth year of a nursing program when the application is made. Those students in their final year of study or who will graduate in May of the year in which the award is given are not eligible to apply.
Current RN-to-BSN-completion students must have already been accepted into a degree-completion program at the time of application submission.
Applicants who are not already an RN – including BS-to-BSN students/fast-track students – must have already been accepted into a basic RN program at the time of scholarship application.
Membership in the Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) and/or the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) is highly recommended for those applicants who are currently enrolled in nursing pre-licensure programs.
Applicants should have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA.
Applicants are required to attest to their financial need by providing information about all federal and state grant(s) and loan(s), as well as any formal documentation which demonstrates the need (for example, a letter from the financial aid office regarding work-study).
Previous recipients of an NFP scholarship are not eligible to apply.
Applicants may only apply to one NFP scholarship per calendar year.
Applicant must have resided in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Entries are judged based on essay responses and financial need.
