The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) have come together to announce the creation of the RWJF New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program. This program, of unprecedented size, will give out scholarships of $10,000 each to 1,500 entry-level nursing students over the next three years. Prefrence will be given to underrepresented minorities or students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The goal of this program is to help alleviate the nursing shortage by increasing the number of students in the accelerated nursing programs. Funding from this program will also be available to nursing schools to help them take on the increased number of students. The program aims to increase the number of applicants for accelerated nursing programs, those who have a bachelor's degree and want to do an accelerated program, but cannot get aid because they already have a degree (most federal aid is not available to those who already have a degree).
