Scholarships
Centennial
The fund was established in 2004 to commemorate the centennial of the Oregon Nurses Association. Scholarships are awarded to individuals who have been accepted and are enrolled in the nursing program of study. This scholarship is open to students from any accredited nursing program in Oregon and is given out 4 times per year in $1,000 awards. A subcommittee of the ONF Board awards the Centennial Scholarships.
Smith Scholarship
The Smith scholarship was established through the contribution of Milton F. Smith of Roseburg. The endowment fund is administered by ONF. Scholarships are typically given in the amount of $1,000 to individuals enrolled in undergraduate baccalaureate or graduate nursing programs. A subcommittee of the ONA Cabinet on Education recommends individuals for award to the ONF Board.
At this time, the Smith Scholarship fund has been depleted for the current fiscal year, so no more scholarships are available. Please check back at a later date.
