The program grants awards annually to assist with tuition and fees for individuals who are preparing to be pediatric registered nurses that provide direct patient care. These scholarships reflect a major commitment on the part of Cincinnati Children's to assist with economic barriers that prevent some students from pursuing nursing careers.
