ENA Foundation Scholarships

The ENA Foundation proudly offers grants and scholarships to advance emergency nursing.

Mandatory Scholarship Orientation

All scholarship recipients must attend a required 20-minute virtual orientation (post-award). This meeting provides important information about the scholarship and the disbursement process. Award checks will not be issued to the recipient’s educational institution if the orientation is not attended.
