§ 23-35.9. Nursing scholarships authorized.—There are established
eight annual scholarships for each congressional district of the value of
three hundred dollars. These awards shall be made by the State Board of
Health and the recipients of four of such scholarships shall be required
to attend an accredited nursing school in their respective districts pro-
vided such schools are available and the student can receive admission
thereto. The recipients of the remaining four such scholarships as well
as the recipients of any scholarship in a district where no accredited nurs-
ing school is available. or where the student is not able to secure admission
shall be allowed to attend any accredited nursing school in this State.
Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit such scholarship from being
available to any second-year college student at the beginning of the second
college year who presents to the State Board of Health an application to
an accredited school of nursing, which application has been approved by
said school of nursing and indicates that the student will be accepted in
said school of nursing upon satisfactory completion of his/her second
college year. If any of the above-created scholarships for any congres-
sional district are not awarded for any year they shall be awarded from
the State at large.

There are established twenty annual nursing scholarships to be
awarded from the State at large of the value of three hundred dollars.
These awards shall be made by the State Board of Health and the recip-
ients of such scholarships shall be allowed to attend any accredited nurs-
ing school in this State.
