Scholarship Committee

THIS INFO IS BEING UPDATED - PLEASE CHECK BACK FREQUENTLY

HANP is privileged to offer two scholarships each year to its members. We are accepting masters / post masters advanced practice nurse and doctoral degree applications for consideration.

Three scholarship committee members read and score each scholarship submission packet. If applicants are tied, two additional readers from the HANP executive board (ie. president, president-elect, treasurer, secretary) will read and score the applications in question in order to break the tie and choose one. It is the policy of HANP not to present a tied award.
