BSN: McHone Scholarship

Criteria for Application/Nomination

The McHone Scholarship was established as the Albert B. and Gladys C. McHone Endowment in 1985 in honor of Mrs. McHone, a registered nurse who has provided significant service to persons in many parts of Virginia. While primarily need based, this scholarship has flexibility and is awarded in collaboration with a son, Mr. James C. McHone.
This Scholarship is given to a junior or rising senior-nursing student at fall celebration. It is awarded through applications or nominations submitted to the Nursing Department Head who subsequently makes recommendations to Mr. McHone.

Complete the nomination form indicating your choice for the award, and return to Department Secretary in the department office no later than March 1.
Substantiate your nomination/application concisely and specifically. Responses are evaluated according to quality of written presentation, and the breadth and adequacy of documentation of need.

Junior or Senior Nursing Student who is experiencing financial hardship but may or may not have official financial need as determined by the financial aid office.
Satisfactory academic performance.
Recommendation by the Nursing Department Head.
