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
