To assist in the ever challenging healthcare workforce, KDHS is excited to announce we will sponsor 10 RN and 10 LPN scholarships to begin in the coming 2022-2023 school year. 

These scholarships will cover the full amount for tuition: up to $15,000 for the RN program and $11,000 for the LPN program. This opportunity is open to anyone, but preference will be given to team members and family members of KDHS team members if they are among the top applicants. To be eligible for this program, the applicant must already be accepted to a program of nursing with a pending program start date, accept a position of employment at KDHS (PRN, PT or FT), and agree to remain in the nursing position three years post-graduation. 

Successful applicants also will be offered non-nursing employment with King’s Daughters while they complete their nursing education.
