Ten Scholarships for NPs, PAs, and RN Students to Be Awarded in 2027
Applications open October 1
For the second year, Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts is awarding scholarships to support adult learners enrolled in accredited Nurse Practitioner (NP), Physician Assistant (PA), and Registered Nurse (RN) programs at U.S. universities. Eligible applicants must be adult learners enrolled in these accredited programs.
The 2026 inaugural scholarship received 1,686 applications, and we awarded four scholarships. Because of its popularity, we will award ten $500 scholarships in 2027.
Each scholarship helps eligible students pay for school expenses, including tuition, books, and program fees. To apply, students must explain why they want to pursue advanced education and describe how the scholarship will benefit them personally.
The scholarship application will be open from October 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, and the winners will be announced on April 30, 2027. Only eligible applicants may apply.
Congratulations to our 2026 Winners!
Four scholarships of $500 were awarded to:
- David Carrasco, RN, Nova Southern University
- Destiny Crawford, MA, Northland College
- Evan Elie, RN, Cambridge College
- Priscilla Joy, MD, University of California-Davis
“Pursuing a career as an NP, PA, or RN requires years of rigorous study and a major financial commitment,” said Chuck Dillehay, creator of Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts. “These scholarship winners exemplify a dedication to the healthcare profession that will positively impact patients for years to come.”
Ten scholarships of $500 each are available to help students pay for school expenses such as tuition, books, and program fees.
