National Nursing Team Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The National Nursing Team Scholarship rewards students for their knowledge of core college courses associated with the nursing curriculum. Students are quizzed on information taught in traditional nursing classes and earn a score based on time and accuracy. Individual student scores are added together to determine a school’s overall score. Four students from the highest scoring school in each state advance to the Championship Round. After each team member takes the Championship Round quiz, scores are tallied and the highest scoring team in the country receives scholarships.
