While the principal investigator must be a registered nurse with a master's degree, team members may be from other disciplines or may be nurses without master's degrees. Preference will be given to applicants who are members of both ENA and Sigma, but it is not a requirement to apply. To be considered for the scholarship, interested teams must submit their applications to the ENA Foundation (NOT Sigma). Keep on reading to learn more!Show Less
