Montgomery County Community College nursing program scholarship grants

BLUE BELL — The nursing program at Montgomery County Community College received $38,247 from the Independence Blue Cross Foundation through its annual Nurses for Tomorrow Scholarship grant. This is the largest sum the college has received from the grant in more than five years.

Nurses for Tomorrow awards grants to nursing schools in southeastern Pennsylvania earmarked for scholarships for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral nursing students. MCCC nursing students who maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher in the clinical component of the program and have not repeated a nursing program course are eligible.

This year, 19 students in the clinical component of the program are eligible for the scholarship of up to $2,500.

Approximately 230 students are currently enrolled in MCCC’s Nursing program, which recently received full reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
