R.I.S.E. Nursing Scholarship

Supporting CNAs furthering their medical careers.

R.I.S.E. Nursing Scholarship
R.I.S.E. stands for Respecting, Investing, and Supporting Empowerment. This fund was established by a family who saw the impact great CNAs had on the services provided for their mother while she lived at Fairhaven Christian Retirement Center. They also became aware of the barriers that faced CNAs who wished to continue their medical education, including but not limited to paying for school. The R.I.S.E. Scholarship is intended to help CNAs who provide exceptional care, respect, and dignity to their patients overcome those barriers and achieve their medical education goals.

Eligibility

Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!
