The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) is launching the President’s Endowment Challenge for the academic year 2024-2025, and the theme couldn’t be more crucial: “Advocating for Equity.”
About the NASN President’s Endowment Challenge: This initiative aims to raise funds to support research on school nursing’s influence on health and education outcomes. The focus is on identifying quality systems-level school health services interventions that can truly make a difference in the lives of students. The endowment fund also plays a vital role in offering scholarships to school nurses interested in pursuing advanced nursing practice degrees and certifications. Notably, it includes the new Diversity in School Nursing Scholarship, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in the field.
Shared Leadership for Equity: One of NASN’s key goals is to pursue health, education, and social equity for students through shared leadership.
