RN-BSN Stipend Program

Cal State Fullerton’s School of Nursing is committed to providing exceptional educational opportunities to its students. We are fortunate enough to demonstrate that commitment through a new stipend program that provides up to $10,000 per eligible student to ensure the completion of their BSN!

Things to know about the RN-BSN Stipend Program:

• The RN-BSN Stipend Program assists students by offsetting program-related costs, reducing the need for student loans, and enabling ADN students to obtain their BSN degree as quickly as possible.
• Students are required to sign a contract that clearly details their obligations to receive the RN-BSN Stipend. This can provide students with $5,000 dollars per semester, up to $10,000 total.
• To qualify for the RN-BSN Stipend, students must agree to actively seek and obtain employment as a registered nurse in Orange County within six (6) months of graduating with their BSN. Recipients are required to stay employed as a registered nurse in Orange County up to one (1) year after graduation.
• If you were enrolled in Jump Start or in our Concurrent Enrollment Programs, you have special priority to receive the stipend! 
• The RN-BSN Stipend Program Application can be found below and should be filled out as soon as the application cycles open, as the stipend is awarded based on available funding.
