Scholarship Overview
As part of its mission to support and enhance the role of the nurse executive, the Indiana Organization of Nurse Executives
(IONE) has established a scholarship fund with six scholarships awarded on an annual basis to six students in a Master's of
Nursing Administration Program within the state of Indiana. Each scholarship awards the recipient the one time amount of
$2,000.
Eligibility
To be eligible for an IONE scholarship, individuals must meet the following criteria:
Have earned a BSN degree.
Be licensed as a registered nurse in the state of Indiana.
Work or reside in the state of Indiana.
Maintain a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale in the Master's Program.
Have an employment history that is focused toward a leadership position.
Have held at least an entry-level management position in nursing.
Have demonstrated leadership skills and abilities.
Hold current membership in a professional organization(s).
Preference is given to IONE members.
Selection Process
Each year in March the IONE Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee sends letters to the Dean/Chairperson of the School/Department
of Nursing or his/her designee of each Master's of Nursing Program in Indiana. IONE requests that each school of nursing
recommend a candidate to receive the scholarship and to forward each candidate's biographical information to IONE. The decision
to award a scholarship is based on the recommendation of the Dean/Chairperson of the School/Department of Nursing or his/her
designee. IONE honors each school's recommendation and does not take part in the selection of the scholarship recipients.
The scholarships are awarded each year at the IONE fall meeting which takes place in October.
Questions
Individuals who believe they may be qualified to be a recipient of the IONE scholarship should discuss this matter with the
Dean/Chairperson of the School/Department of Nursing who ultimately makes the recommendation regarding who will receive the
scholarship from their school. General questions regarding the administration of the IONE scholarship program may be directed
to the IONE Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee listed in the leadership icon of the IONE website.
