Scholarship Application for the 2020 Alaska School Nurses Association Conference

Please find attached the CDC Federal Grant fund scholarship application that has been obtained for the purpose of continuing education for health, wellness and helping students with chronic diseases in school.  

The scholarship is intended to be used towards the ASNA Conference registration, hotel, and airfare. 

To be considered eligible for the scholarship you must meet the following criteria.

1. Be a working school nurse, in good standing.
2. Be a current member of ASNA. We will consider non-members if the applicant meets all other criteria, or if there are not enough members who apply. However, the applicant will be expected to become a member if awarded a scholarship.
3. Send the application via email by 5:00 pm on February 21, 2020. No application will be considered after the deadline.
4. Provide a written summary of your school nurse practice, how you currently promote health and wellness of your students with chronic disease and how you will incorporate the continuing education you receive at the conference into your current practice.
5. Provide an estimate of your travel cost (if needed).

Send your completed application and written summary of your school nursing practice to dkern@acsedu.org.

Applicants will be chosen by a unanimous vote of the scholarship committee, then recommended to the board, who will give final approval. Scholarship committee members are not to be contacted by applicants except by email with the sole purpose of submitting an application.

If awarded, it will be anticipated that you participate in some capacity in ASNA.  Please indicate what area of service to ASNA you would be interested in.
