Scholarships

One of the Army Nurse Corps Association’s major initiatives is the Scholarship Program. Its purpose is the support of nursing education through scholarship funding to worthy students who are US citizens in an accredited baccalaureate or graduate nursing or anesthesia program. Below are the eligibility criteria and general information.

Eligibility Criteria

• Students currently enrolled in an accredited baccalaureate or advanced degree nursing or nurse anesthesia program who:
  • Are serving or have previously served in any branch, at any rank, of a component of the US Army (Active Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve);
  • Are not currently receiving funding by a component of the US Army (e.g., ROTC scholarship students and students receiving full GI Bill benefits are not eligible); and
  • As applicable, have received an Honorable Discharge.
• Nursing or anesthesia students whose parent(s), spouse, or child(ren) have current or previous service in a component of the US Army.

Application Information

The application period for 2019 ANCA scholarships is now closed. Watch this space in the Fall for announcement of the 2020 ANCA scholarships. Applications submitted by 30 March 2019 will be reviewed by the ANCA Education Committee. Selected students will be notified within a few weeks thereafter. Scholarship funds are sent to the school to be managed for the student and not sent directly to the student.

The Army Nurse Corps Association does not have an official relationship with the US Army, the Army Nurse Corps or the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Accordingly there is no military service obligation for the student receiving this scholarship.
