A leading continuing medical education provider has introduced a new scholarship program designed to support adult learners pursuing careers as Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Registered Nurses. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts will award four annual scholarships of $500 each to students enrolled in accredited university programs across the United States.
The scholarship funds can be used for various educational expenses including tuition, textbooks, and program fees. Applicants must provide insight into their motivation for pursuing advanced education and describe how the scholarship will personally benefit them. The application is available on Bold.org until April 20, 2026, with winners announced on May 21, 2026.
‘Pursuing a career as an NP, PA, or RN requires years of rigorous study and a major financial commitment,’ said Chuck Dillehay, creator of Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts. ‘Our four annual scholarships are designed to ease that burden and empower students to continue their academic journey.’
This initiative addresses the substantial financial barriers facing healthcare students, particularly adult learners who often balance educational costs with other financial responsibilities. The scholarship program represents a direct investment in the future healthcare workforce at a time when demand for qualified medical professionals continues to grow.
Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts has established itself as a significant player in medical education since its founding in 2011. The organization has educated 23,674 nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians through its conference programs, featuring 149 speakers across 97 CME conference sites. Participants have earned more than 600,000 continuing medical education credit hours through these programs. Additional information about the organization’s educational offerings is available at SkinBonesCME.com.
The scholarship program’s timing is particularly relevant as healthcare systems nationwide continue to face staffing challenges and increased demand for services. By supporting the educational advancement of NPs, PAs, and RNs, this initiative contributes to strengthening the healthcare infrastructure while making advanced medical education more accessible to dedicated students facing financial constraints.
