The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) has announced that they will be awarding 30 nursing students with the 2018 Board of Directors Student Scholarship. The APNA student scholarship program is intended to encourage students to pursue the field of psychiatric-mental health nursing and develop the next generation of leaders in the profession.
Undergraduate and graduate level nursing students across the country are invited to apply for the scholarship each year or be nominated by a member of their nursing school faculty.
