The scholarship, “NursingHomeAbuse.net's Awareness
and Prevention Scholarship,” - the first of its kind - was created to
financially assist US students committed to raising awareness and preventing
nursing home abuse.

Any student enrolled in an accredited online post-secondary
institution is eligible to apply, however, this scholarship is particularly
suited for students studying nursing, social work, psychology, or healthcare
administration. The applicant must also be receiving some form of need-based aid. The
scholarship will help pay for non-tuition related living expenses for the 2012-2013
academic year that are not covered by the recipient’s current financial aid
such as:

- Rent
- Childcare
- Books and School Supplies
- Utilities – Gas/Electric
- Utilities – Internet Connection
- Groceries

Applications must be emailed or postmarked by February 15th, 2012 to
be considered. The winner will be announced on May 31st, 2012.
