The Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) is accepting the application for its “ANCA Scholarship Program”. The program is open to nursing students who are enrolled in colleges and universities. Its purpose is to support the nursing education to worthy students who are US citizens in an accredited program in baccalaureate or graduate nursing, anesthesia, or related healthcare field. Winning candidates will get up to $3,000 by association.
The Army Nurse Corps Association was established as a private, non-profit organization. In 2000, the name was changed to the “Army Nurse Corps Association” (ANCA)to better reflect the membership composition of retired and active duty members from both the active and reserve components.
