Piedmont Nursing Scholars Program
The Piedmont Nursing Scholars Program rewards recipients with scholarships to help defray the cost of attending nursing school and provides them with the opportunity to work as a Piedmont nurse after they graduate. This empowers students to have a pathway to join a leading healthcare provider in the Southeast and an opportunity to join us in making a positive difference in every life we touch across Georgia and beyond.
The program is no longer accepting new applications.
Highlights of the Program
- Nursing scholars receive $2,500 per semester, up to $10,000, until graduation from nursing school.
- Scholarship recipients agree to a six-month service commitment to Piedmont for every semester of scholarship awards. Nurses may fulfill this service commitment at any Piedmont hospital in our system.
- The service commitment does not start until nursing scholars have graduated from nursing school, passed the NCLEX exam and started full-time employment as nurses.
Eligibility Requirements
- Scholarship recipients of the Piedmont Nursing Scholars Program must be enrolled full-time or part-time in a licensed practical nurse (LPN), associate degree in nursing (ADN), Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), or pre-licensure Master of Science in Nursing - Clinical Nurse Leader (MSN-CNL) program at an accredited college or university in Georgia, Alabama or South Carolina.
- Scholars must remain enrolled, and remain in good standing in their degree program.
- Scholarship funds are for tuition, books and program supplies, and they are used solely for the benefit of the individual receiving the scholarship.
- Scholars are required to submit their final transcript at the end of each semester to the Piedmont Scholarship and Selection Committee to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for subsequent scholarship renewal.
