Scholarships for advanced practice psychiatric nursing students
Applications are now being accepted for 2025 Lois Price Spratlen Scholarships and the Donna Poole Scholarship.
The application deadline is July 15.
The Lois Price Spratlen Scholarships provide $2,500 in financial support for up to six students pursuing a career in advanced practice psychiatric nursing.
In addition to the monetary award, Lois Price Spratlen Scholarship recipients will receive:
A free one-year Student membership with the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses.
A free registration for the AAPPN 2025 Annual Conference, to be held October 4, 2025, at the Seattle Hilton Airport Convention Center, including participation in the Scholarship and Awards Breakfast held jointly by the Foundation and AAPPN on the morning of the conference.
The Foundation is also accepting applications for the inaugural Donna Poole Scholarship. The Foundation will award a $5,000 Donna Poole Scholarship if a candidate is selected this Fall.
The Donna Poole Scholarship provides financial support for a psychiatric mental health nursing graduate student or an advanced practice psychiatric nurse pursuing a degree in the areas of law, public policy, or public health.
In addition to the monetary award, the Donna Poole Scholar will receive a free registration for the AAPPN 2025 Annual Conference on October 4, 2025.
Scholarships are funded by donations from our colleagues in the nursing and mental health community, AAPPN members, and community members interested in improving psychiatric mental health nursing in our state.
Applicants may apply for both a Donna Poole Scholarship and a Lois Price Spratlen Scholarship in the same year. Completed applications must be submitted for each scholarship.
Thank you for your interest in a scholarship through the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation.
