THE ARMY NURSE CORPS ASSOCATION - 2010 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Army Nurse Corps Association is seeking applications from qualified students, in conjunction with their college or university (hereafter referred to as “school”) for the 2010 Scholarship Program. The 2010 scholarship is named in honor 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 2010, some of the application processes have been changed and differ from your experiences with the scholarship program in past years. The major change involves the application being initiated directly by the student(s). The process will require a comprehensive letter from the Dean of the School or his/her representative which will be an integral part of the student(s) application. Previously, the school submitted an application for an Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) scholarship grant which was awarded to the school. The majority of schools submitted an application on behalf of a specific student(s). In 2010, a new application form will be initiated by the student. He/she will also have the responsibility for coordinating the school’s input to his/her application. The association hopes these changes will eliminate some of the confusion associated with the previous process. The success of the student’s application for the $3,000.00 scholarship will depend equally on the application and the school’s input concerning the school and student. More than one student may apply from a school but each student will have to submit a separate application with separate supporting documentation. In the past, some schools would apply on behalf of several students, but a single scholarship grant was awarded to the school as specified in ANCA policy at the time. This process had some inherent inequities.

ANCA will continue to rely heavily on the dissemination of scholarship information through the school’s communication channels. The attached “Army Nurse Corps Association 2010 Scholarship Program” flyer contains an introduction of the scholarship eligibility and application process. This flyer does not carry a copyright, so can be reproduced by the school. The flyer outlines five categories of students who are eligible to apply. These categories do focus on students with a current or previous relationship to a component of the U.S. Army. The ANCA scholarships are made possible by donations from Army Nurses and their desire is to assist such students. ANCA has also increased the number of scholarships to be awarded in 2010. The cutoff date for submission of application is April 1, 2010. The school will still be notified if the applicant is selected.

As stated in the flyer, complete information about eligibility and the application process, to include necessary forms and content requirements, is outlined in the “ANCA Scholarship Program Guidelines and Application” available for downloading, and in some cases completion, at the ANCA website http://e-anca.org under the “Scholarship” tab. A copy of this document is attached for the school’s reference and use as desired.

Questions should be sent by e-mail to education@e-anca.org, or through the “Contact Us” page (Department Routing : Scholarship) on the website. Our mailing address is: Army Nurse Corps Association, Scholarship Program; PO Box 39235; San Antonio, TX 78218-1235.

In advance, thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to hearing from you and your students.

Lieutenant Colonel, USA, Retired
Chair, ANCA Education Committee
