International Advanced Practice Nurse Ambassador Program
Scholarships to the 2023 AANP National Conference
The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) is committed to assisting nurse practitioners (NPs) and other advanced practice nurses (APNs) from countries where the role is emerging by providing funding to help them attend the 2023 AANP National Conference in New Orleans June 20–25.
AANP’s national conference is one of the most exciting, well-attended conferences in the world for NPs. With thousands of attendees and hundreds of educational sessions and workshops, there is something for every APN. If chosen, awardees must attend the full conference and selected meetings within the conference, in addition to reflecting and publishing on the experience.
Funds are available to cover the cost of airfare (some restrictions apply), conference fees and lodging for selected applicants. Hotel reservations will cover standard, double bed hotel accommodations for the nights of June 20-25, 2023.
Applications for the International Advanced Practice Nurse Ambassador Program closed on Nov. 16, 2022, at 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT).
