For Scholars
About NCIN Scholars
The NCIN scholar program is comprised of scholarship recipients who are enrolled in an accelerated baccalaureate or master's degree program in nursing. The NCIN Network fosters information sharing, communication and discussion of key issues. Networking within cohort groups will be facilitated through online resources and electronic communications.
Essay Contest
Share your personal story about why you want to become a nurse, what you have learned, who has inspired you or what you want to contribute to the profession.

We’ll get you started…“I believe this about nursing…”
Book Exchange
Books are expensive; swapping isn’t! While your old nursing books are collecting dust under the table, another scholar could be struggling to afford a new one. We encourage all of our NCIN scholars, both current and past, to use this Web site as a place to buy, sell or swap textbooks. Subsequently, you can check out the student inventory to see what else may be posted. We want you to pay it forward without having to pay too much back!
