Through the generous support of the John A. Hartford Foundation and the Atlantic Philanthropies, the Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity (BAGNC) Scholar Awards Program recently selected 24 new nurse Scholars and Fellows. Selected BAGNC Scholars will receive up to $105,000 each to support their studies and Fellows up to $125,000 to support research in the field of geriatric nursing.

This year, twelve predoctoral Scholars will receive a scholarship of $100,000 to support their doctoral training and launch careers in academic geriatric nursing.  Nine Claire M. Fagin postdoctoral Fellows will each receive $120,000 to support advanced research training, mentorship, leadership and career development. Both Scholars and Fellows were chosen through a national competition as part of the original John A. Hartford Foundation's initiative aimed at building academic geriatric nursing capacity.

To date the Hartford Foundation has invested more than $9.28 million in scholarships for nurses through this program.
