PORTSMOUTH, NH. — FedPoint, a federal benefits administrator and marketplace operator, announced the window to apply for its annual nursing scholarships is now open.

 

The company will award four $5,000 scholarships, with recipients to be announced in May during National Nurses Week, which occurs from May 6-12.

 

"Nurses serve as a critical foundation of the healthcare system," said FedPoint CEO Kevin Hill. "Our scholarship program is designed to attract and develop the next generation of nursing talent and reinforce our communities' ability to meet future care demands."

 

Eligible applicants for the merit-based scholarships include graduating high school seniors, adult learners, and individuals pursuing a career change. Candidates must be U.S. citizens residing in New Hampshire, Maine or Massachusetts who are entering their first year of an accredited nursing program in the fall of 2026. More details about the scholarship, eligibility requirements, decision criteria and important dates are available at fedpointusa.com/scholarships.

 

As a benefits administrator for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP), FedPoint employs several dozen nurses who provide care coordination and planning services to thousands of claimants and their families. The company introduced the FedPoint Nursing Scholarship in 2023 to promote nursing as a highly rewarding career and help bolster the future nursing workforce in northern New England and beyond.

 

The deadline to apply for the 2026 FedPoint Nursing Scholarship is Friday, March 20, 2026. The scholarship review panel will include members of FedPoint's own care coordination team, as well as nurses from the Cornerstone Visiting Nurse Association.
