Sardella Family Nurse Incentive Scholarship

The Sardella Family Nurse Incentive Scholarship is designed to support nursing students at Eastern Illinois University who are completing their RN to BSN degree program. This scholarship targets non-traditional students who demonstrate a commitment to hands-on nursing as their chosen profession. The award is specifically aimed at students from Illinois communities within a 100-mile radius of Charleston, Illinois. Recipients must maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA after completing one semester in the RN to BSN program and demonstrate financial need. The scholarship prioritizes students who show the greatest potential for lifetime success in the nursing field. This is a one-time award that may only be received once by any student. The scholarship is announced in the Spring semester and awarded in the Fall semester. Award amounts vary based on available funding. This opportunity serves as an incentive for non-traditional nursing students to achieve academic success while pursuing their BSN degree at Eastern Illinois University.
