Nursing Scholarships
Each Spring, AcruxKC awards nursing scholarships to students enrolled in traditional, accredited nursing programs that lead to RN certification. Scholarships are awarded to full-time students who achieve and maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA, who have completed their prerequisite courses, and who are in the final two years of their program. Students in accelerated and concurrent programs may apply with certain restrictions.
