Jones Premier Nursing + Education Scholarship
Change your life and change your community
Jones Premier Nursing and Education Scholarship
The Jones Foundation, named after Walter S. and Evan C. Jones, provides six qualified, eligible applicants a full ride to pursue a career in education or nursing.
Up to six high school seniors, one nursing student and one education student from each of the three counties served by the Jones Foundation (Lyon, Coffey, Osage), will be awarded the Jones Premier Nursing and Education Scholarship.
This prestigious scholarship covers your full cost of attendance including tuition, fees, room, board, books, etc., after any other scholarships or grants are applied.
You will also receive automatic acceptance to ESU’s Honors College.
To qualify, you must have either a weighted high school GPA of 3.7+ or an ACT Score of 28+ and complete two required essays:
- Why have you chosen to enter the teaching or nursing profession?
- How will the Jones Foundation’s investment in your education help improve lives in your community (Coffey, Lyon and Osage counties)?
A selection committee of ESU faculty, staff and/or volunteers will select finalists and conduct interviews to determine each year’s winners.
Visit the ESU Scholarship Portal and follow the directions to apply.
As long as you are pursuing a nursing or education degree and earning a 3.5 GPA or higher, you will continue to receive funding for a total of eight semesters.
Total financial aid plus stackable scholarships shall not exceed the total cost of attendance.
