Thank you for your interest in the ENA Foundation Scholarship Program. The 2009 scholarship application process has been completed for this award cycle. New awards and applications will be posted on the ENA website after January 1st, 2010.
The types of scholarships offered by the ENA Foundation are intended for currently licensed nurses (RN, LPN, or LVN) for their undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degrees. There are a minimal number of Non-RN scholarships available. These scholarships are restricted to rescue workers (fire fighters, EMT, police officers, etc.) or those currently working in the Emergency Department who wish to obtain a nursing degree. With the exception of the non-RN scholarships, applicants must be members of the Emergency Nurses Association for at least 12 months prior to applying.
Congratulations! Thanks to the generous donations received from individuals, organizations and industry, the ENA Foundation is pleased to announce the 2009 ENA Foundation Scholarship Recipients.
