Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Scholarship
The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (NP) Scholarship awards funding to nurse practitioners who are pursuing a post-master's certificate as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner.
Applicants must agree to work full-time in approved organization serving uninsured and/or MUPs in Virginia for at least 2 years upon completion of the certificate.
Applicants must:
- Be a Virginia licensed nurse practitioner
- Be accepted into a Psychiatric-Mental Health Post-Masters Certificate (PMC) program at an accredited school of nursing
- Plan to enroll in the PMC program full time or complete the program in the shortest time possible, following the school's typical plan of study
- Be eligible to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship and be free from judgments arising from federal or state debt
- Not be enrolled or planning to enroll in a doctoral nursing program, as the service commitment must begin immediately after PMC program completion
- Not have any existing service obligation, such as National Health Service Corps or other state or federal loan/scholarship programs
Preference will be given to NPs attending a Virginia-based program, residing in Virginia, NPs with 3 or more years of work experience, and/or those with experience working in a health safety-net as an employee or volunteer.
Up to $26,000 for tuition and required fees.
