Each year in the fall semester, the School of Nursing offers several research and scholarship awards to provide BSN Honors Program, DNP, and PhD students with funding to support their passion for discovery and offset research and scholarship-related expenses.
The annual School of Nursing Research and Scholarship Awards are provided to support student research and scholarship, and specifically data collection, the development of research ideas or scholarly interests, professional development, and other research-related activities.
