Army Nurse Corps Association Scholarship Announcement

2009-10-05

The Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) was founded as the Retired Army Nurse Corps Association in 1997.  Membership is comprised of Army Nurse Corps officers from the Active Army, Army National Guard, or the Army Reserve.  They may be currently serving, retired or honorably discharged from one of these components of the US Army.  One of the Association's major programs is the Education Fund. 

The purpose of the Army Nurse Corps Association Education Fund is to award scholarships to students attending accredited baccalaureate or graduate nursing or anesthesia programs.  Students attending other accredited nursing programs may also be eligible.

In 2010, the scholarships will be awarded in memory of Captain Gussie M. Jones, AN, who died of non-battle related causes in Iraq.  She was the first African-American Army nurse to die while assigned to a theater of operations.

For complete information, to include the application for an ANCA scholarship, visit the ANCA website.
