The Mildred Nutting Nursing Scholarship recognizes the essential role nurses play in patient care, public health, and community well-being.

This scholarship helps offset tuition and related educational expenses, supporting students during a critical phase of their training.

Preference for this scholarship is given to applicants from the Lowell, Massachusetts area, reflecting the legacy and local impact associated with Mildred Nutting.

This regional preference underscores DAR’s commitment to honoring donor intent while still promoting broader educational access within the nursing profession.

Recipients of the scholarship are expected to demonstrate dedication to nursing as a career and a readiness to meet the professional responsibilities that accompany patient care. Many past recipients go on to serve in hospitals, long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and community health settings, contributing to improved health outcomes and patient advocacy.

The scholarship also aligns with DAR’s broader mission of service, education, and civic engagement. By supporting nursing students with financial need, the organization helps ensure that compassionate and qualified individuals are not prevented from entering the profession due to economic barriers.

Applicants should be prepared to submit documentation confirming acceptance or enrollment in a nursing program, along with materials that demonstrate financial need. This scholarship is a meaningful opportunity for nursing students seeking support as they work toward licensure and professional practice.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be accepted into or currently enrolled in an accredited school of nursing
