Murse World Scholarship

Murse World is committed to acknowledging the medical students who plan to do their utmost to help people heal and feel their best. To show our appreciation for these outstanding individuals, Murse World has launched a Pay it Forward annual scholarship opportunity for all college students who are studying in any field within the realm of the medical or health world. This scholarship will grant each applicant a chance to earn $1000 towards their college tuition by answering the following question:

How do you plan on making the world a better place through your future career?

Murse World’s Scholarship will be presented to the applicant with the best submission for the aforementioned question. Murse World judges will choose five to ten essays that are well-written, engaging, and best answer the question. These top submissions will be posted on our website, where everyone who visits can vote for the submission they think is best. The thousand dollar winner is the submission that garners the most votes from the public. If your submission is posted on our site, be sure to reach out to your family, friends and social media contacts and ask them to vote for you!
