FedPoint Nursing Scholarship 2026
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the FedPoint Nursing Scholarship. Our commitment to service extends beyond the benefits we deliver. It includes supporting the people and professions that strengthen the well-being of the communities we serve.
The FedPoint Nursing Scholarship is one way we extend that commitment. Nurses play a vital role in our communities and by encouraging the next generation of nurses, we’re helping to build a stronger, more compassionate future for the communities we care about. With nurses among our own staff, we understand firsthand the dedication, skill, and compassion the profession demands.
The scholarship is more than financial support. It’s a reflection of FedPoint’s belief in people-first service, long-term impact, and ensuring we have a strong nursing workforce to meet the current and future demand for care.
