Preserving Our Past, Capitalizing on the Present, Embracing the Future

ANCA Scholarship Thank-Yous

The Army Nurse Corps Association is very proud of the success of its longstanding program in support of nursing education through scholarships. Every year we award as many as 17 scholarships to deserving recipients: present or former Army Nurse Corps officers studying advanced nursing, Army enlisted personnel studying to become nurses, or students in nursing education programs who themselves or their close relatives have had Army service. We are grateful for the letters of thanks and appreciation we receive from many of these recipients, and wish to share a few of those below.

At the ANCA conventions in 2012 and 2014, several scholarship recipients expressed their thanks in videos shown during the programs. They can be viewed by clicking these icons.
