NCCGAPNA- Northern California chapter of the Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Association (GAPNA)- announces the Student Scholarship for 2024!
GAPNA is a national organization whose mission is to promote high standards of health care for older adults through advanced gerontological nursing practice, education, and research. Each year GAPNA hosts an Annual Conference, as well as a Pharmacology Conference, to provide continuing education in the latest trends in clinical practice, health policy, and health delivery systems relevant to advanced practice gerontological nurses. The conference also provides a forum for exchange of ideas and clinical experience with expert faculty and colleagues.
The NCCGAPNA Conference Scholarship was developed to assist a NCCGAPNA member who is a current Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) student (CNS or NP) or recent graduate to attend the Annual GAPNA Conference or the Pharmacology Conference. The recipient of the scholarship will be awarded up to $2000.00 for expenses incurred to attend the conference. The money will be distributed after the student provides valid receipts for expenses within 6 weeks of conference completion.

1) Current membership in NCCGAPNA.
2) Current enrollment in a NP or CNS program or have graduated from a program within the past year.
3) Have an interest in gerontology.
4) Provide proof of enrollment or recent graduation (within one year of conference date).
