Hence, these scholarships are awarded to nurses pursuing advanced degrees, either master's or doctorates, in accredited programs, and have completed at least half of their academic studies toward their degrees.
The NLN Jonas Scholars Program, established in 2010 through generous funding from the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, addresses a core formal goal of the NLN: advancement of the science of nursing education. The initiative includes a comprehensive mentoring component that engages scholars in peer-to-peer interactions, and nurtures relationships between scholars and faculty mentors. NLN Jonas Scholars are selected by faculty in selected schools of nursing with a focus on nursing education research and mentored by scholars in the NLN | Chamberlain Center for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education. Funds include financial support for the scholars' research through the final year of doctoral study, as well as travel expenses to meetings with mentors at the NLN Education Summit. NLN Jonas Scholars in previous cohorts have since graduated and joined the ranks of doctoral-prepared nurse faculty, fulfilling the grant's stated purpose to advance the science of nursing education through evidence-based research. Members of the newest cohort of NLN Jonas Scholars are: Juanita Allen-Garner, MSN, RN Southern University A&M Mary Franklin, MSN CNM Case Western Reserve University Sibena Samuel-Harris, MSN/Ed, RN Hampton University Catherine Sargent, MS, RN, BC, AOCNS Villanova University Catherine Stubin, MSN, RN, CCRN Widener University Heather Voss, MSN, RN University of Northern Colorado Meagan White, MSN, RNC Indiana University of Pennsylvania NLN Summit 2017 Information and Registration may be found here: /conferences/summit-2017/home.
