American Indian Nurse Scholarship

The NSCDA (Colonial Dames), an organization that is much like the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), sponsors a scholarship for $1,000 per semester, and is available for the semester in nursing school, not for basic nursing, for any Indian student of any tribe. The Delaware nursing candidates have not been applying for this scholarship and we would like to have our students take advantage of the scholarship.

The requirements are: tribal membership card, 1/4 blood quantum, sometimes less will be accepted, resident of any state and must have evidence of enrollment in a nursing school. To get the application for this scholarship, email gaegey@aol.com. Reference NSCDA, American Indian Nurse Scholarship.

A member of the Colonial Dames, Gail Kane of Bartlesville, is the director of this program for NSCDA. She would like to see the Delaware take advantage of this scholarship program. Ms. Kane must have your application and all accompanying information by December 1 for Second Semester and by July 1 for First Semester, of any year the application is submitted. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Kane at the above E-mail address.
