The NCIN scholarships came at a time when the school of nursing had just launched its accelerated master’s program in nursing, so they provided much-needed financial support to students. The tools NCIN made available supported development of a strong curriculum, enabling the school to create new opportunities for students and improve the quality of the program. Students were able to network with community leaders through meet-and-greet luncheons that exposed them to various leadership styles and helped them understand some of the attributes that make strong leaders. Many NCIN scholars have since continued their education, earning DNP degrees and completing CRNA and NP programs.

SUCCESS STORIES

NCIN scholars choose from eight different leadership tracks and follow a curriculum plan throughout the academic year, during which they learn about topics like social justice, public service, and peer tutoring.
