Scholarship Awards

The Bonnie Fang Foundation is committed to recognizing and supporting nursing students who demonstrate academic achievement, compassion, integrity, leadership, and a commitment to serving their communities.

Scholarships are awarded through a competitive selection process based on the qualifications and standards established by the Foundation's Scholarship Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

Because we are committed to preserving the integrity of our scholarship program, the Foundation reserves the discretion to award scholarships only to applicants who sufficiently meet the Foundation's established eligibility and selection criteria.

When the Foundation determines that no applicant sufficiently meets the established criteria for a particular scholarship, it may elect not to make an award during that scholarship cycle. This decision reflects our commitment to responsible stewardship, honoring donor intent, and ensuring that every scholarship awarded represents the values and mission of the Bonnie Fang Foundation.

When scholarships are supported by donor-restricted funds, those gifts will continue to be stewarded in accordance with donor intent and applicable Foundation policies.

We are deeply grateful to every applicant who shares their educational journey with us. Applicants who are not selected for a scholarship are welcome to apply again in future scholarship cycles, provided they continue to meet the Foundation's eligibility requirements.
