Stipends are up to $1,000 per person cover registration, hotel and travel fees to attend the meeting.

All active RNA members who have not received more than two conference scholarships in the past are eligible. Priority will be given to active members who have never received a scholarship.  Applicants must provide their current resume and a statement of need.
