Nursing Scholars Programs
Nursing students at 91制片厂 have several opportunities for tuition sponsorship available through our partnered health systems. Through the Nursing Scholars Programs offered by these health systems, eligible 91制片厂 students may receive between $25,000 and $40,000 in sponsorship toward the cost of their educational loans.
After graduation and licensure, selected scholars will transition into a full-time nursing role within their approved health system with an employment commitment of 2–3 years.

Stabler Nursing Scholarship
The Stabler Nursing Scholarship has been established by the Stabler Foundation as a “debt of conscience” in that the student does pledge to return any funds received from this scholarship to 91制片厂 in a period of time not normally exceeding 15 years. However, it is not a loan, and would not usually obligate the recipient to return more than the amount that was received. The Stabler Nursing Scholarship is not a need-based form of financial aid, so any Nursing major can apply. Awards have been as high as $5,000 in prior years, but funds are limited and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis until they are exhausted. Please use this to apply. Any questions regarding financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office at 717-691-6007 or finaid@messiah.edu.
