Scholarship Program

Academic Scholarship Opportunities

Over the past 21 years, the ENA Foundation has awarded over $2 million dollars in support of its mission to provide educational scholarships and research grants in the discipline of emergency nurses. These scholarships and grants are made possible due to the generous support from individuals, ENA members, state councils, local chapters, industry and friends of emergency nursing.

2013 Professional Development Scholarships

Professional development education scholarships meet member needs for short-term, focused education. Frequently the nurse applicants do not receive funds from their hospitals to support their participation in ENA educational programs. Thanks to generous donations to the ENA Foundation, we have the opportunity to award the following continuing education awards.
