AUSTIN, TEXAS — The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) works to sustain its core purpose "to promote high-quality health care for all" through financial support for nurse practitioners (NPs) and NP students. In 2023, AANP awarded $145,000 to 51 members through the AANP Grants and Scholarships Program, and in 2024 AANP will raise the amount to more than $152,000 in total awards.
AANP is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2024 Grants and Scholarships Program funding cycle. AANP members who meet the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply for scholarships or grants before March 20, 2024, at 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT).
“AANP believes investing in the education and professional development of NPs and NP students is an investment in individuals and an investment in the future of health care for all,” said AANP President Stephen A. Ferrara, DNP. The AANP Grants and Scholarships Program is a testament to our commitment to our members. In 2024, we are proud to announce an increase in funding and encourage eligible AANP members to seize this opportunity and apply for scholarships or grants before the deadline. Together, we can continue to elevate the standards of care and make a positive impact on health care access and outcomes for our communities."
