School of Nursing re-awarded scholarships through RWJF New Careers in Nursing Program
posted July 18th, 2011Duke University School of Nursing announced today that for the fourth year in a row, it has been selected as a grant recipient of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program (NCIN). During the 2011-2012 academic year, Duke University School of Nursing will receive $100,000 to support students in the School’s accelerated baccalaureate program who are traditionally underrepresented in the field of nursing. The NCIN Scholarship Program was launched in 2008 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to address the national nursing shortage, develop a diverse professional nursing workforce, and fuel the pipeline of nurse faculty and leaders.
