We believe that financial support
of nursing education leads to an
increased supply of nurses, which
supports better community health
and patient care that is
more cost effective.

Providing education scholarships for
local nursing
students
The Nurses Foundation of Racine (NFR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving community health by supporting nurses enrolled to obtain an Associate degree, Baccalaureate degree, or Advanced degree nursing programs. Since 1983, we have provided scholarships to students pursuing nursing degrees who live or work in Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth counties.
Multiple scholarships are available and are awarded based not only on GPA, but also financial need and community involvement. By providing financial assistance, we help alleviate the financial burden of nursing education and encourage qualified individuals to pursue this vital profession!
