Joanne and William Conway Scholarship Program
Through the generosity of William E. Jr. and the late Joanne Barkett Conway, merit- and need-based scholarships are awarded annually to Second Degree Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing students.
The financial support this prestigious scholarship program provides to incoming students who already have a college degree creates a new pathway for them to embark on a nursing career. Mr. and Mrs. Conway have made meaningful investments in nursing education and scholarships at Villanova to address the nation’s nursing workforce shortage.
