As part of its ongoing effort to make higher education more affordable, Capella University, a regionally accredited online university* that has built its reputation by providing high quality online degree programs for working adults, is offering a $2,500 grant opportunity for new nursing students who enroll in eligible Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN), or Doctorate of Nursing (DNP) programs. Because of Capella's partnership with national nursing associations, members of the American Nurses Association (ANA) or the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) will receive an additional $500, for a total of a $3,000 grant.
“This exciting grant opportunity will extend access to high-quality instruction for nurses seeking advanced education to meet the demands of a changing healthcare system based on the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report”
