Strengthening the Health Professions
Scholarships
Palm Health Foundation annually provides needs-based scholarships for those wishing to enter and advance in the nursing, mental health, and behavioral health professions.
Palm Health Foundation will not accept new applications in November 2026 for mental and behavioral health professions scholarships to be awarded in 2027.
Applications for new mental and behavioral health professions scholarship recipients are expected to reopen in November 2027 for awards made in 2028.
Our nursing scholarship applications annually open on November 1 and close on February 1.
Palm Health Foundation recognizes that the health of our community depends on skilled care.
Since 2001, we have invested more than $10 million in programs that advance the nursing, mental health, and behavioral health professions and improve the quality of health care in clinical and community-based settings.
Health Professionals: What's it like being you?
Palm Health Foundation wants to understand the experiences of local health professionals. So, we've partnered with Palm Beach County nurses to create an easy way to collect your stories.
It's better than a survey, super easy to use, and will only take a few minutes!
Share your perspective with us, invite others to share, and help us build a culture of health for all in our community.
Scholarships
Palm Health Foundation has awarded over $4.8 million in nursing, mental health, and behavioral health professions scholarships.
Nursing Corps
In 2016, we established the Volunteer Nursing Corps, which provided health information, education and care to vulnerable populations in Palm Beach County.
Skills Training
Palm Health Foundation has supported skills training for thousands of healthcare professionals by funding simulation training labs for more than a decade.
Palm Health Foundation Scholarship Funds
One of the biggest ways the foundation strengthens the health professions is through our scholarship funds, which are set up by generous donors who are determined to reduce financial barriers for students so they might achieve their academic dreams. Donors can support local students by giving to an existing fund, or starting their own.
