Christian Helping Hand Scholarship for Nursing Students

The Christian Helping Hand Scholarship for Nursing Students is offered through the Tarrant County College Foundation to support nursing students facing financial obstacles. This scholarship is specifically designed for students enrolled in the Associate of Applied Science Program in Nursing at Tarrant County College who demonstrate both academic merit and financial need. Recipients must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA and be enrolled in at least 8 credit hours in the nursing program. The scholarship is renewable for the spring semester if eligibility requirements continue to be met. A unique aspect of this scholarship is that students who receive federal or state financial aid are ineligible, making it specifically targeted toward students who fall outside traditional financial aid parameters but still face financial barriers to completing their nursing education. Applicants must complete the FAFSA or TASFA process and provide information in their scholarship essay about financial obstacles that prevent them from meeting educational expenses.
