The Scholarship Committee of the Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital is seeking applicants interested in the profession of Nursing. Previous recipients and applicants are also encouraged to re-apply.

The Ladies Board Nursing Scholarship program was established in 1959. This year will mark forty-eight years of awarding Nursing Scholarships to worthy recipients. Funds for this important project are raised by Lights of Love, Inova Loudoun Hospital Gift Shop, Twice Is Nice Thrift Shop and the Ladies Board Rummage Sale.

The scholarships are given to students as supplemental aid. In 2007-2008, $101,700 was awarded to fifty students. Amounts awarded ranged from $900.00 to $3,000.00. Criteria for selection include:
