Long text (Legacy Book):
NCIN scholarship funds were vital in helping Azusa Pacific University provide additional tools to help scholars graduate and become nurse leaders. These funds helped leverage support to increase the number of faculty and enhance support services. Leadership and mentoring programs remain an integral part of the second-degree programs at Azusa, with peer, faculty, and community members serving as mentors. Each NCIN scholar was involved in at least one community-based project, which ranged from planning a health fair for seniors and the homeless to teaching health care in ethnic communities. NCIN scholars traveled to Japan in 2011 to help earthquake victims. Many graduates continue to work and volunteer in underserved communities. Program coordinators bring in diverse professionals and advanced practice nurses to join forums.
