Our Race to Health Equity Diversity Nursing Scholarship

TCA Editorial Staff

The Johnson & Johnson Our Race to Health Equity Diversity Nursing Scholarship aims to tackle health disparities for people of color by boosting the number of BIPOC professionals in healthcare, especially in nursing.

This scholarship’s mission is to diversify the healthcare workforce, so we can better address the unique health challenges faced by communities of color. The goal is clear: a world where healthcare access and quality don’t depend on skin color.

This scholarship is funded through the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association (FNSNA) and is just one step in a broader plan to guarantee everyone gets high-quality and culturally relevant healthcare.

Eligible Nursing Degrees:

Associate’s (including diploma, LPN/LVN to RN)

Scholarship Amount:

All checks are made payable to the school towards the scholarship recipient’s account, to be used to offset the cost of tuition, academic fees, and books only.
