About this scholarship

The 2026 NPHF/Procter & Gamble Community Service Endowed Scholarship awards $1,000 to one nurse-practitioner graduate student whose service has made a significant positive contribution to a community or to patient care. The live application specifically highlights work with underserved or multicultural populations and efforts to reduce healthcare disparities. Eligible students must be enrolled in a nurse-practitioner master’s, Doctor of Nursing Practice, or PhD program and must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

The online Kaleidoscope application requires identifying information, a copy of the program of study, an official transcript or a printed grade report signed by the program director, the program-director verification form, one reference form, an abbreviated curriculum vitae, personal and goal statements, and a timeline of community, school, or professional service activities.
