Download forms at the bottom of this page.

The student must be in their high school senior year and participating in a school curriculum that
involves health care activities. It is not necessary that the student already be accepted for enrollment in a post high school nursing program but he/she must have made application. If the student is not
accepted to or pursuing a qualified post high school program in nursing, the award is forfeited.

Prior years have shown that the interests and achievements of the applicant are advanced at the time
the scholarship committee meets by having an orderly, concise and chronological presentation on
paper 81/2 x 11 bound neatly at the left side in a 3-hole paper folder. Elaborate bindings and bulky
coverings are discouraged. Remove all letters from envelopes and bind the letters flat. Exhibits
evidencing notable achievements in scholarship, leadership, athletics, dramatics, community service or other activities may be attached but the applicant should avoid submitting repetitious accounts of the same aptitude. Elaborate presentation is unnecessary. Careless presentation definitely handicaps the applicant. The bound application and exhibits must not weigh over ten ounces or exceed twenty pages in length.

It is also recommended that the applicant be in the top 25% of his/her class and be actively involved in nursing related activities.

In addition to the “Memorandum of Required Facts,” and the completed counselor’s report, which
should be in the folder, we suggest as essential details the following, preferably in the order indicated:

1. Applicant will provide transcript of High School Record. Please have the High School Counselor
include your GPA and, if possible, your class ranking and number of students in your class. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, and the hardship it has placed on students, ACT/SAT testing is not required this year; however, if student has taken either test, please submit higher score.
(Counselor’s Report attached)

2. A letter from school principal and/or counselor regarding citizenship, congeniality, leadership
ability, attendance, personal grooming, and reliability.

3. One to three letters of endorsement from responsible persons not related to applicant, (other than
teachers), who have had an opportunity personally to observe the applicant, and who can give
worthwhile opinions of the moral character, industry, purposefulness and general worthiness of the
applicant.

4. An essay entitled “Why I want to become a Nurse.” Essay should not exceed 500 words.

5. Applicant must be a citizen of the United States of America.

Applications that do not conform substantially to the foregoing requirements should not be endorsed by a subordinate lodge.
