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, 13 pre-doctoral Scholars and 11 post-doctoral 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 in the field.

The 2005 Scholars and Fellows join 82 BAGNC colleagues selected since the program began in 2000, with 60 scholars successfully completing the two-year award program as of this year. To date the Hartford Foundation has invested more than $9.28 million in scholarships for nurses through this program.
