The Kentucky Coalition of Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Midwives is pleased to announce our scholarship awards program for 2010. A total of four $1500 scholarships are available, two for MSN and one for an ARNP (NP or CNM) pursuing a doctoral degree in nursing. Finally, we are privileged to participate in the awarding of the Jacqueline Bail Nurse Practitioner Memorial Nurse Practitioner scholarship, the fourth award given, also to an MSN student.

Each of the scholarships available is $1,500. Scholarships will be awarded at our Annual Awards Banquet held as a part of our conference in Covington on April 22, 2010.

Students interested in applying should review the eligibility and submission rules and send an entry in a 9x13 postage-paid envelope to the address listed below. Completed applications will be judged using a blinded review processing and a predetermined scoring system. Individual members of the scholarship committee from all over the state will independently judge each entry. Criteria for the judging includes academic performance, professional involvement, financial need, a letter of reference, a short essay, and a written statement of personal and professional goals.

There is no standard application form to complete. However, detailed instructions are provided and all items listed must be received in a single mailing to be considered for judging. Entries will be received until 6:00 p.m. on March 5, 2010. No late entries will be accepted; therefore, students are encouraged to have items postmarked with proper postage (first class mail), no later than March 1, to ensure delivery by the March 5, 2010 deadline. All entries become the property of the KCNPNM and will not be returned.
