Every year we present scholarship funds to eligible nursing students that are advancing their degrees in the cardiovascular arena. We recognize the challenges encountered in attempting to meet the community's nursing needs as well as students' financial limitations. It is our hope that our support can help produce highly skilled and competent cardiac nurses, change lives and strengthen our community by providing the opportunity of education.
Our current nursing scholarship funds are:
The scholarship recipients are very grateful for these funds and are asked to submit an annual report of their status and how the scholarship has helped them which is very rewarding to Miami Heart Research Institute/Florida Heart Research Foundation.

Miami Heart Research Institute and Florida Heart Research Foundation's policy on F&A Costs (Facilities and Administrative Costs), formerly known as indirect costs and overhead, is that MHRI & FHRF do not reimburse administrative expenses of any kind for awarded grants or projects. This has always been the policy of Miami Heart Research Institute, Florida Heart Research Foundation and its Board, as well as part of every grant agreement we enter into.
Miami Heart Research Institute and Florida Heart Research Foundation request that every grant be exclusively used to support an approved grant or project and pay for direct expenses of said approved grant or project. No portion of the funds awarded for the approved grant or project will be used to pay indirect overhead expenses.
