Scholarships for Health Professions Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds
This program promotes diversity among health professions students and practitioners by providing scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Eligible health professions and nursing schools apply for funds to make scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, whom have financial need for scholarships and are enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, as full-time students at the schools.

Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship
(AENT) Program
The framework of Health People 2010 proposes to “eliminate health
disparities” as one of the two primary goals for the next decade. The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing
strives to meet the unique needs of Pennsylvania that involve the care of patients/clients from rural, western and
central portions of the state and large numbers of elderly patients. The master’s and doctoral curriculum
provides coursework and clinical/laboratory experiences to provide graduates with the prerequisite knowledge
and skills to become expert culturally competent health care providers. We recruit applicants from minority and
rural settings to increase their placement in medically underserved areas. Currently, distance learning
technologies enable the master and doctoral programs to recruit and offer courses to rural graduate students.

Graduate Nurse Education Grant Program
This program is designed to increase the number of graduate nursing students who will, upon graduation, be qualified to purse a career in nursing education, improve the graduation rates of nursing students who will be qualified to become nurse educators, and to increase the number of credits a graduate nursing student can take, thus accelerating their completion of the degree that will qualify them to be a nurse educator.
