JNGNY Scholarship for Students Attending Nursing School in Jamaica
Offered by Jamaica Nurses Group of New York, Inc.
About this scholarship
The Jamaica Nurses Group of New York Scholarship for Students Attending Nursing School in Jamaica provides financial assistance to native Jamaicans who live and study nursing in Jamaica. The sponsor does not publish the 2026 award amount or number of awards, so those details are intentionally left unspecified. Applicants must already be matriculated in a nursing program and have completed at least two nursing courses. Academic eligibility requires a minimum 3.5 GPA, while the selection materials also address financial need, sensitivity to patients’ needs, and participation in community activities or a school professional organization. The application packet includes the sponsor’s two-page form, a current official transcript, and two sealed recommendations from faculty members and/or a community organization where the student volunteers. A separate two-page essay must explain the applicant’s professional goals, need for assistance, and how the applicant’s nursing skills will advance the profession in Jamaica and elsewhere after graduation. The complete package must be postmarked by August 30, 2026 and mailed to the Jamaica Nurses Group of New York scholarship address shown on the official PDF. Selected students are expected to become active members of the Nurses Association of Jamaica. The Apply link opens the current sponsor-issued form directly rather than a directory or homepage.
