CHAMBERSBURG- The Franklin County Commissioners are pleased to announce that applications for the 2025 Franklin County Nursing Scholarship are now available.
The scholarship program provides financial assistance to Franklin County high school seniors who have been accepted into an accredited four-year nursing program. Up to six one-time scholarships of $2,500 will be awarded to local students.
“Nursing is a noble profession and we know there is and will continue to be a critical need for nurses in our area,” said Franklin County Commissioner Chairman Dean Horst. “We hope this scholarship program will help aspiring nursing students and encourage them to return to Franklin County when they’ve completed their training.”
Applicants must submit an essay, briefly indicating short- and long-term goals pertaining to nursing school, along with a scholarship application, an official high school transcript and three letters of reference, including one from their high school guidance counselor. Students must also have a minimum 2.5 GPA, participate in both extracurricular and community service activities, and demonstrate a financial need for the scholarship.
Recipients will be determined by a committee of local healthcare professionals and Franklin County representatives. Winners will be announced during their schools’ scholarship ceremonies and will also be recognized during a Franklin County Commissioners’ meeting. Funds are directly paid to the recipients’ respective academic institutions.
Scholarship instructions and applications are available on the Franklin County website at www.franklincountypa.gov/apply-file-for. All applications must be received by 4:30 p.m. March 28.
