Our Nursing Scholarship Program is tailored for individuals passionate about pursuing a career in nursing. Whether you are a high school senior, a college student, or a working professional considering a career change, this program offers financial assistance to help you achieve your dream of becoming a registered nurse. The scholarship covers tuition, books, and other educational expenses, alleviating the financial burden often associated with nursing education.

Cape Fear Valley Health System values the dedication and hard work of our employees. To further support their professional growth, we offer a comprehensive Tuition Reimbursement Program. This program allows our employees to pursue advanced degrees and certifications while continuing to work within our health system.

The Nursing Scholarship Program and the Tuition Reimbursement Program create a robust support system for both new and existing employees, with benefits that include:

A Success Story

Jennifer Ray, a dedicated nurse at Cape Fear Valley Health System, shares her experience with the Tuition Reimbursement Program:

"The tuition reimbursement program was an integral part of me receiving higher education. Keeping my career goals in mind, I knew I wanted to further my education to better prepare me for a leadership role. The program allowed me to focus on classes and studying rather than the cost of tuition and books. The support I received kept me engaged and committed to the health system and allowed for development opportunities. The program allowed me to obtain both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing as well as my Master of Science in Nursing in Healthcare Informatics,” Ray said.

“If I had any advice to give others considering participating in the program, it would be to do it. You will never know everything, and education is so important in a professional’s life and career for advancement. Taking advantage of the tuition reimbursement program was one of the smartest moves during my career here with Cape Fear Valley Health."
