    New Member Scholarship

    The New Member Scholarship is an exciting opportunity designed to welcome and reward first-time members. Each year, two newly joined members are selected through a random drawing. Each recipient receives up to $1,500 to attend the NASN in-person annual conference (covering registration, travel, and lodging). 

    Eligible participants must be 18 years or older, hold a current RN license, be employed as a school nurse, and join NASN for the first time between April 1–March 31. No separate application is required—new members are automatically entered upon joining. 

    Beyond supporting professional growth, this scholarship serves as a powerful recruitment tool for affiliate organizations. By promoting the opportunity to win conference funding, affiliates can highlight the tangible benefits of membership, attract new school nurses to join, and strengthen engagement at both the state and national levels. Send this link to potential new members!
