Other Awards and Scholarships

A number of organizations provide competitive research grants and scholarships. For example, the Kentucky Board of Nursing awards Nursing Incentive Scholarships to Kentucky nurses pursuing ongoing education. These awards are competitive. The National Institutes of Health award National Research Service Awards to pre-doctoral (Ph.D.) and postdoctoral students. Early (a master's degree student or newly admitted doctoral student) applications are more competitive for these awards. The Delta Psi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, Sigma Theta Tau International and the American Nurses Foundation have annual competitions for research grants and scholarships. Likewise, many specialty organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and others provide such awards. To compete successfully for any of these awards you need to work closely with your advisor.
