Name: NADONA/LTC Nurse Scholarship Sponsored by PharMerica
Award Amount: $5,000
Information And Eligibility:
The NADONA/LTC Nurse Scholarship, sponsored by PharMerica, is designed to support nursing students who are committed to careers in long-term care and geriatric nursing. Formerly known as the Stephanie Carroll Scholarship, this award honors the legacy of nurse leaders within the long-term care profession while helping address the ongoing need for highly trained and compassionate nursing professionals in post-acute and senior care settings.
Administered by the National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long-Term Care (NADONA/LTC), the scholarship provides financial assistance to students enrolled in accredited nursing or undergraduate programs who intend to practice in long-term care or geriatrics after graduation. Funds are paid directly to the recipient’s college or university and may be used to offset tuition and other qualifying educational expenses.
The scholarship reflects a shared commitment between NADONA/LTC and PharMerica to strengthen the nursing workforce serving vulnerable populations. By supporting students early in their professional journeys, the program aims to enhance the quality of care delivered to residents, families, and communities that rely on long-term care services.
Applicants are required to complete a formal application that includes academic and institutional information, along with a personal narrative. The narrative component asks candidates to explain why they are pursuing a nursing degree and how receiving the scholarship will support their professional goals and enhance their future nursing practice in long-term care environments.
Scholarship recipients are selected by a review committee composed of NADONA/LTC members. Applications are evaluated based on the applicant’s demonstrated commitment to nursing, alignment with long-term care practice, and the clarity of their educational and professional objectives. Multiple awards may be issued each cycle, with award amounts varying based on available funding and applicant qualifications.
This scholarship plays a vital role in encouraging future nurses to enter long-term care—a specialty that requires clinical expertise, leadership, empathy, and dedication. By investing in students who choose this path, NADONA/LTC and PharMerica help ensure continued excellence and stability within the long-term care nursing workforce.
