 A bequest was received by the Ellis Hospital School of Nursing in August 1997 from the estate of Nathaniel Blanchard to establish a scholarship for nursing students with financial need. The Scholarship is named in honor of his wife, Bessie Lillian Blanchard.
The Blanchard Scholarship is offered for one semester in each year of the curriculum. First year students are eligible for the Spring semester of the first year. Second year students are eligible for the Fall semester of the second year.
The award, up to $300.00, may be used for textbooks and/or supplies. Disbursement will follow successful completion of the preceding semester/session.
Requirements for application include:
- Submission of a short essay of approximately 100 words stating why you should be considered a candidate for this award.
- First year students must submit the essay by November 15 to be eligible for the Spring semester award.
- Students completing the first year must apply by July 15 to be eligible for the award presented for the Fall semester of the second year.
- Financial need
- A CGPA of 2.67 or above

Award decision is made by the Ellis Hospital School of Nursing faculty.
