In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Chamberlain College of Nursing in Addison, Ill., invites RNs to enter their scholarship essay contest, called “Take a Step. Go the Distance.”

Chamberlain is offering 12 Bachelor of Science in Nursing scholarships — two $4,000, four $2,500, and six $1,000 awards. Thirteen fast-track RN-to-BSN online degree completion program scholarships also are available — one $5,000, two $2,500, and 10 $1,000 awards.

Scholarship entrants must include a 500-word essay addressing two questions: What factors in relation to breast cancer and its awareness have influenced your decision to become a nurse? From a financial standpoint, what impact would this scholarship have on your nursing education?

Also included with each submission must be an application and contest registration form. All three pieces must be submitted online and will go before a panel of judges for review.
