    • The following scholarship and award applications are currently closed.

  • NPHF/AstraZeneca Diversity Scholarships Program —The NPHF/AstraZeneca Diversity Scholarship Program addresses the critical need to broaden the ethnic and racial diversity of the nurse practitioner profession. Ninety-four percent (94%) of the existing NP workforce is Caucasian; 3.7% are African American; only 1.2% are Hispanic, 1% Asian and 1% are Native American. It is urgent that the NP profession recruit, train, and retrain men and women of diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds in order to meet the public health demand for services, especially with underserved populations. Helping minority nurses achieve graduate NP preparation is a high priority for the Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation.

    Three (3) scholarships will be awarded to graduate nurse practitioner minority students with a practice emphasis on serving underserved, diverse populations and reducing health disparities. For the 2009-2010 academic year, this program targets students who are African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American/Alaskan Native. Three (3) scholarships will be awarded. Amount of each award is $4,000.
