Awards, Grants & Scholarships

To recognize those individuals and organizations that promote children's health and PNP practice, NAPNAP offers a number of awards. NAPNAP also supports education and practice through a number of scholarship and grant programs. While the process for determining awardees varies, guidance for the all of these programs is provided by the NAPNAP Awards Committee, currently chaired by Renee McLeod, DNSc, RN, CS, CPNP.

This committee reviews procedures related to NAPNAP awards, grants and scholarships; reviews new award proposals and recommends accepting or rejecting the proposal to the Executive Board; monitors/oversees NAPNAP's awards selection policies and procedures; and recommends members to serve on specific award, grant and scholarship selection panels.

Following is a listing of the current awards, grants and scholarships NAPNAP offers. Most are recognized annually. Details and access to the application/nomination forms for several of these programs is available by clicking through the links provided:
