Scholarships
By providing scientific and educational opportunities and resources, the Illinois Nurses Foundation achieves its mission to enhance the development of Illinois nurses and further the nursing profession. INF offers scholarships to nursing students.
Sonne Scholarship
The Sonne Scholarship Program was created through a generous bequest from the estate of Maybelle Sonne, a retired nurse, who directed that the funds be used to aid those entering a career in nursing.
Members in good standing of the Student Nurse Association of Illinois (SNAI) are eligible for the Illinois Nurses Foundation's Sonne Scholarship. These funds may be used to cover tuition, fees, or other costs encountered by a student enrolled in a state-approved nursing program which leads to eligibility to sit for licensure examination as a registered professional nurse.
