Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. awards $50,000.00 annually in scholarships because of its commitment to providing access to quality educational training and financial assistance to nursing students. Scholarship awards occur on the National, Regional and Local Levels. The national scholarships include the Aliene Carrington Ewell Scholarship and the Mabel Keaton Staupers Scholarship.
