Announcement
Webster University has been awarded a congressionally directed grant to enhance the educational experience of students in its nursing program and to help address the growing shortage of nurse educators and healthcare professionals in Missouri.
Funds will be used to increase access to Webster nursing degree programs, focusing scholarship assistance on incoming M.S.N. students. Competitive scholarships of approximately $2,000 each will be awarded this fall to 10 first-year M.S.N. students.
