Scholarships

The Wisconsin League for Nursing (WLN) Scholarship Committee is committed to our mission:

IMPACTING THE LIFELONG LEARNING OF NURSES IN DIVERSE HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTS.

To achieve this mission, the WLN Scholarship Committee actively searches for and applies to various grants to receive funding to distribute to students enrolled in nursing programs. Each scholarship grant has different eligibility criteria. The Scholarship Committee reviews all scholarship applications and awards available monies to individuals whose application matches the philosophy of the scholarship funds received.

In order to be eligible to receive a scholarship from the WLN, students MUST BE a Wisconsin resident currently enrolled in a School of Nursing.  Scholarship winners are notified prior to WLN Fall conference and awarded at the Fall Conference.  

We are not accepting scholarship applications at this time.  Scholarship applications are typically accepted and reviewed in the Fall, for disbursement towards Spring semester tuition. Stay tuned for the next round of applications for scholarships in 2022! 

We would like to thank our donors for their support of nursing education:  Bader Philanthropies, Inc., Deaconess Alumni Association, NurseThink®, Greater Milwaukee Foundation, Mr. John Gresley, and many other private donors who contributed towards the establishment of the Ruth Seris Gresley and WLN Nurse Heroes Scholarship Funds.
