2008 NJSAOHN Scholarships
Webster’s Dictionary defines scholarship as “a grant in aid awarded to a
student for the purpose of gaining knowledge” and every year the NJAOHN
chapter is able to provide scholarship money to our members for the purpose
of gaining knowledge whether it be through membership in the AAOHN or
through attendance at an educational presentation. This year is no
different.
The
scholarship program is designed to:
·
Promote professional excellence through education
·
Expand your knowledge of
occupational and environmental health nursing in areas such as safety,
environmental, human resources, health benefits, case management
· Share best practices with colleagues
The Board of Directors sponsors the
Founder’s Scholarship
, three (3) $200.00 awards to honor the dedication of the nurses who founded
the state organization and now to assist members in their pursuit of
educational goals.
Bell Medical

dues.
Edwards Medical Supply

Occupational Health. They seek to reward a member in good standing who
demonstrates dedication and professionalism in their pursuit of their
educational goals and again this year will provide a $300.00 scholarship.
