Culpepper Nursing Scholarship

The Culpepper Nursing Scholarship, provided by the Community Foundation for Brevard, supports local students pursuing careers in healthcare. This program is specifically for Brevard County residents enrolled in nursing programs at Eastern Florida State College. To qualify, applicants must submit an official acceptance letter from the college's nursing program. Individuals who already hold two or more college degrees or are seeking postgraduate degrees are not eligible to apply.

The scholarship funds can be applied toward any educational costs included in the school's total cost of attendance. Recipients can choose to apply the funding to a single semester or split it across two semesters, provided they maintain the required GPA. To demonstrate financial need, applicants must complete the FAFSA and submit their official FAFSA Submission Summary showing their Student Aid Index. The application, which must be completed online by the student, also requires a resume, transcripts, a letter of recommendation, and short essay responses. The submission deadline is February 2, 2027, at 11:59 p.m.
