Each year, PADONA awards three types of nursing education scholarships for our members in pursuit of learning. It is only through the generous support of our conference attendees, business partners, and sponsors that we can offer these opportunities.
Primary PADONA members can apply or recommend an applicant for an educational scholarship for any one of the following opportunities:
- Monetary Award towards a nursing degree;
- Continuing Education Award toward the 2026 annual convention attendance; and/or
- Continuing Education Award toward the 2026 annual Leadership Development Course.
Primary members can recommend a family member, friend, or a co-worker who is pursuing a nursing career and /or higher education in a nursing field for a monetary scholarship. Please reference the attached eligibility criteria, requirements for submission, and application. Applications will be received through January 31, 2026. Please submit your application packet to Candace McMullen at cmcmullen@padona.com.
