Scholarship information is available through the schools of nursing and the Institutions of Higher Learning. MNA recommends that candidates for nursing school contact the school of nursing where they have enrolled. Many hospitals and other organizations offer scholarships and work directly with the schools of nursing located in their close proximity.

The Mississippi Nurses Foundation is developing an endowment through funds received from the nursing car tags. More than 4,500 tags have been sold since the Mississippi legislature passed authorizing legislation with proceeds from this specialty tag going to the Foundation. For every car tag sold, the Foundation receives $24. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A NURSE TO BUY A TAG.

Money from the nursing car tags will go toward developing nursing programs that will include some type of scholarships or stipends.
