Arizona College of Nursing Collaborates with NAHN
The Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN) has teamed up with the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) to announce a significant
$150,000 scholarship program aimed at supporting students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This initiative is designed to alleviate the financial burden often faced by aspiring nurses and foster diversity within the nursing profession.
Supporting Nursing Students Across the Nation
Beneficiaries of this scholarship will include students from various campuses including Aurora, CO, Dallas, TX, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Hartford, CT, Salt Lake City, UT, Tampa, FL, Tempe, AZ, and Tucson, AZ. The scholarships target not only first-generation college students but also healthcare professionals who are pursuing higher education in nursing.

three-year BSN program, ultimately enhancing their ability to serve their communities.

Anderson, CEO of Arizona College of Nursing, reflected on the importance of this partnership: "Together with NAHN, we are committed to supporting the next generation of nurses by providing essential educational opportunities, access to mentoring, and scholarships.
