About this opportunity
The RN to BSN Education Advancement Scholarship is intended to improve school nursing by assisting registered nurses employed in schools to advance their education and by recognizing continuing education as a priority among school nurses. In 2010 the IOM: Future of Nursing recommended supporting the advancement of nurses, with the goal that 80% of nurses have a baccalaureate degree by 2020. This scholarship supports a school nurse to pursue a baccalaureate nursing degree to support the advancement of school nursing practice. One scholarship of up to $1,500 is awarded annually to assist with expenses for a school nurse to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree. The scholarship must be used within one year of the scholarship date, and recipient expenses will be reimbursed according to NASN procedure. The recipient's name will be announced at the NASN Annual Conference and communicated to the NASN membership.
