American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Education Advancement Scholarships
Educational Advancement Scholarships advance the art and science of critical care
nursing and promote nursing professionalism. The scholarships support AACN members
who are registered nurses completing a baccalaureate or graduate degree program
in nursing.
Award recipients receive $1,500 per academic year. The funds are made available
in August through the financial aid office of the student's college or university.
The funds may be used for tuition, fees, books and supplies, as long as the recipient
is continuously enrolled in a baccalaureate or graduate program accredited by the
State Board of Nursing within the student's state. Funds unused due to graduation
or dropping out of the program will be returned to AACN by the college or university.
