Soc. of Scholars Corner

The Society of Scholars is comprised of previous recipients of scholarships for advanced study in nursing from Nurses' Educational Funds, Inc.

The members of NEF's Society of Scholars are ambassadors for Nurses' Educational Funds, Inc. These members are important academic and professional liaisons. They assist with the distribution of information about NEF and inform others about the present issues in nursing leadership, faculty, administration, research, clinical work and publications.

The Scholars also provide information on the importance of supporting advanced nursing education through scholarship contribution.
