Undergraduate Nursing Scholarships

The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) of San Diego County is offering a $1000 academic scholarship to an undergraduate nursing student enrolled in a nationally accredited baccalaureate nursing program.

AORN of San Diego County strives to generate interest amongst undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students in the career of perioperative nursing.
