Nursing Scholarship

The Asian American Women's Coalition (AAWX) is excited and pleased to announce the availability of a nursing scholarship being offered by the Methodist Hospital Foundation of Methodist Hospital, a Division of Thomas Jefferson Univ Hospital. Students may be admitted to an accredited ASN nursing program at a school of their choice. The value of the nursing scholarships is $30,000,000 over a two year period. Recipients of the nursing scholarship will be asked to make a 3-year commitment to work at Methodist Hospital, a community hospital dedicated to serving the healthcare needs in South Philadelphia, and thus, a successful scholarship recipient and graduate of the program is promised immediate employment upon passing their Nursing Board Exam.

AACW is delighted to collaborate with Methodist Hospital Foundation, in providing this opportunity and information to you. The application process for the nursing scholarship is a completely seperate process from the Asian American Women's Coalition-Cecelia Moy Yep Scholarship.

Scholarship applicants must be submitted by March 27, 2009. Applicants must be of Asian descent. Email Diane.Pirollo@jeffersonhospital.org to request an application.
