The NCIN scholarship program allowed the school of nursing to increase the class size as well as the diversity of the class. The school of nursing also added a faculty position with responsibility for the scholars’ clinical work. To get feedback on the program and ensure scholars’ engagement, the school conducted a survey of scholars and administrators and then faculty members met with the scholars on a regular basis.
