The purpose of the Army Nurse Corps Association Scholarship Program is to award scholarships to U.S. citizen students attending accredited baccalaureate or graduate nursing or anesthesia nursing programs.
The 2012 scholarships are in honor of of Captain Joshua M. McClimans, AN, USAR, who was killed in a mortar attack in April 2011 while assigned to the Combat Support Hospital at Forward Operating Base Salerno in Afghanistan. A native of Jamestown, Pennsylvania, Captain McClimans was a 2003 graduate of the University of Akron School of Nursing in Ohio. He had served a previous active duty tour in Iraq and at Walter Reed Army Medical Center before joining the Reserve.
