About Nursing Service Scholarship
Kansas’s Nursing Service Scholarship supports Licensed Practical Nursing and Registered Nursing students through shared funding from the state and a medical provider sponsor. A sponsor may be a hospital, health facility, home-health agency, or another approved organization. Students identify the sponsor and agree to an employment relationship, so this is not an unconditional scholarship.
The Board of Regents guide describes awards subject to appropriations, with separate RN and LPN allocations, renewal for programs lasting longer than a year, and statutory limits tied to cost of attendance. Check the current year’s application for the exact amount rather than reusing old figures. The school and sponsor explain which costs are covered and what remains unpaid.
The usual commitment is one year of work for the sponsor per year of aid; the agreement may require repayment if the student leaves the program or does not complete service. The Board publishes an annual application and deadline that may change; as of October 13, 2026, confirm the next cycle with the Board and school. Request the agreement and compare pay, location, schedule, and costs before accepting.
