Martin Memorial Health Systems and the Sailfish Point Foundation are again teaming up to help nursing students earn their degrees.
Through a generous donation from the Sailfish Point Foundation, Martin Memorial will award five $1,000 nursing scholarships this fall to students meeting criteria.
To be eligible for a nursing scholarship, students must be accepted to an accredited nursing school for fall 2010, be pursuing an associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing, and must be a resident of Martin County.
Scholarship applications are available online at mmhs.com. The application deadline is Thursday, Sept. 30. For more information, please e-mail Rachel Raos at rraos@mmhs-fla.org.

The federal government offers a variety of grant programs, and some of those are specifically tailored towards students who are heading into nursing and healthcare fields. Many of these programs are offered with the help of the Department of Health and Human Services.
One of these is the Advanced Education Nursing Traineeships program. This grant is given to institutions that have advanced nursing programs that registered nurses can take, such as programs for nurse midwives and nurse practitioners. The school is awarded the grant money, which is then passed on to eligible students. It can be used to pay for tuition, books, fees, and some living expenses while the nurse is in the program. The institution itself is responsible for determining the eligibility requirements for the students who will receive the award, outside of the fact that they must be pursuing a master’s or doctorate degree in the nursing field.
