The Master's-Nurse Scholars Program (M-NSP) was an expansion of the Nurse Scholars Program in 1991. It was introduced to attract outstanding nurses to pursue a masters degree in nursing as preparation for them to teach nurse education programs and to provide nursing services to citizens of North Carolina. M-NSP is administered by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA).
Eligibility
An 11-member Nurse Scholars Commission selects recipients for the M-NSP award on the basis of superior academics, leadership potential, and desire to practice nursing on a full-time basis in North Carolina. Recipients must be North Carolina residents. Students must plan to enter a master's level nursing program at a participating college or university in the state of North Carolina. M-NSP is strictly merit-based; financial need is not a criterion.
