Application and Review Process

Bridget Nesko after graduating from George Mason University School of Nursing in 2006

Please complete and submit the following application for early scholarship consideration.

Applications will be considered throughout the year as received, and all applicants will be contacted by a member of our Award and Scholarship Review team.

Candidates can apply themselves or can be recommended for consideration by family or another representative.

Candidates selected to receive an award or scholarship will be notified within 30 days of the Foundation’s receiving all information requested and after our initial live interview.

Bridget faced significant personal, financial and family challenges while seeking her degree, but worked hard to overcome them to earn her degree. YOU CAN TOO!

If you or your child (any age) is interested in pursuing an education leading to a career in any field – with healthcare preferred – at an accredited technical school, or a two or four-year college-level educational institution anywhere in the U.S., our scholarship can provide an up to $1,000 direct school tuition payment to help defray the costs of that education. Even if the student is currently enrolled in school for such a program and needs additional financial assistance to continue or complete their studies, they will be considered.

2023 marks the initial year of the Foundation’s operation. As the Foundation grows, funds awarded for scholarships are planned to increase.
