VASN Scholarships & Grants

Each year at the VASN Fall Conference, we recognize members who are advancing school nursing practice and supporting the health of students across Virginia. Through VASN scholarships, we celebrate these contributions while investing in the continued education and professional growth of school nurses.

VASN is committed to supporting school nurses at every stage of their careers. Members have access to VASN-funded scholarships, National School Nurse Certification scholarships, and additional scholarship opportunities through the National Association of School Nurses (NASN).

Explore the opportunities below to support your professional development and continued impact in school health.

Up to six scholarships may be awarded to nurses continuing their academic journey, including programs such as:
