Florida Nurses Foundation Scholarship and Grant

The Florida Nurses Foundation exists to promote nursing and delivery of healthcare through the advancement of research, education and practice. Each year, funds are provided to registered nurses and students for scholarships and research grants.

The Foundation was established by members of the Florida Nurses Association in 1983. The first grants were given in 1986 at the Florida Nurses Association Convention. The FNF focus has evolved over time to include contributions to support nursing education and research and to provide assistance to nurses in need.
