The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses awards up to $3,000 to association members pursuing studies related to filling gaps in their careers. The scholarship is not awarded for an overall program of work but rather for specific coursework, which makes it ideal for students pursuing their doctorate on a part-time basis. The applicants must request a specific amount of money and include a CV and short essays detailing their personal goals with regard to their studies, as well as an analysis of the gaps in their knowledge.
