Scholarship/Awards/Traineeships

 

Graduation Awards

A selected number of graduation awards are presented to nursing graduates each year, which recognize student excellence in nursing research, professional nursing practice and College leadership. Nomination forms are distributed approximately 4 weeks prior to graduation. Nominations for each award may be generated from fellow students, faculty, and self-nomination. A student may be nominated for more than one award, but is eligible to receive only one. The students nominated for each award will be notified in writing by the Student Affairs Committee. Students wishing to pursue the award will submit written documentation of achievement of the criteria listed. The faculty votes to award recognition as the final decision point. Graduates in May, August and January will be considered for awards.
