Nursing Student Retention Scholarship Program

" "

To address the shortage of nurses in Mississippi, the Office of Nursing Workforce established a Nursing Student Retention Scholarship Program (NSRSP). The program provided scholarship opportunities to all nursing students and nurses in the state of Mississippi who were pursuing degrees in nursing. The goal of the program was to attract and retain nurses here in our state. The program targeted students at all levels of nursing and the funds could be used to cover the cost of educated-related expenses, including tuition, fees, supplies, textbooks, and housing. Students selected as recipients of receiving this were required to complete their nursing degree and agree to practice nursing in the state of Mississippi for a certain period.

Application Process - We are no longer accepting NSRSP applications.

We are excited to share that we awarded $100,000 in scholarships to twenty-four students in various nursing programs. Congratulations to all of the hard-working students who were awarded those scholarships!
