University of Rhode Island College of Nursing PhD Student Scholar 2026

The University of Rhode Island College of Nursing PhD Student Scholar programme supports students entering or pursuing the PhD in Nursing at the University of Rhode Island in the United States. It is offered by the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing and is designed for doctoral students whose research interests align with nursing-focused scholarship.

Based on available postings, the programme includes three scholarship opportunities. Two awards cover 100% of tuition and fees for two years of full-time study, and one award covers 50% of tuition and fees for the same period. This makes the scheme primarily a tuition support award rather than a living-expenses fellowship.

The scholarships are aimed at applicants interested in research areas related to nursing practice and health policy. Some awards also mention a focus on palliative and end-of-life care for persons, families, or communities affected by serious illness. One scholarship specifically encourages applications from Rhode Island residents, single parents, and/or married students.

This opportunity is tied specifically to the University of Rhode Island, so applicants would typically need to apply to the university's PhD in Nursing programme and follow any scholarship instructions issued by the College of Nursing. Prospective students should prepare academic and research materials that show fit with the programme's nursing research priorities and confirm current scholarship details directly with the university.
