​Marilyn Bagwell Leadership Development Grant

​3M™ Littmann® Stethoscope Leadership Development Grant


Deadline Has Now Passed
Check back in September to apply for the 2021 application cycle

These grants are available for ​​School Chapters Only.
​ATTN: Faculty Advisors and School Presidents


​Purpose of the Grant: 
​These grants are for official NSNA school chapters (established for a minimum of one (1) year) that seek to foster the development of leadership skills in nursing students.

Overview: 
One grant of up to $2,500 will be awarded to two (2) official NSNA school chapters that wish to enhance involvement in NSNA to develop leadership skills among nursing students at the school level.  Funds will only be provided for special projects that support:
  • Special initiatives/activities of an official NSNA chapter (minimum of one (1) year) where leadership principles can be applied and learned and that promote the advancement of NSNA resolutions adopted in the House of Delegates within the last ten years (visit http://nsnaconvention.weebly.com/resolutions.html for more information on past resolutions), or
  • Participation in Leadership University (visit http://www.nsna.org/leadership-university.html) 

The recipient schools will be recognized at the NSNA Annual Convention during the Opening Ceremony.  NSNA’s 68th Annual Convention takes place in Orlando, Florida.  The Opening Ceremony takes place on Wednesday evening, April 15, 2020.

A faculty advisor from the nursing program must apply for the grant.  Individual students are not eligible to apply.  The next application cycle will begin September 2020. Schools can apply for both grants.  However, only one grant will be awarded to one school.  The recipient of the 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscope Leadership Development Grant will also receive a limited supply of stethoscopes in addition to the grant funding from 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscope. 

​Guidelines for Grant Request
  1. Funds must be used by May 31st of the awarding academic year.
  2. Grant Awards will be made in the name of the school of nursing and not an individual.  Only one grant up to $2,500 will be awarded to one recipient school for each grant program.  A school chapter may apply for both grants.  However, chapters that apply for both programs can only receive one grant of up to $2,500.
  3. An interim report on the successes of the project thus far is due at the midpoint of the academic year.
  4. A final report on the outcome of the grant must be issued to the FNSNA one month after the project end date.  The final report must be written in the form of an article to be published in the September/October issue of Imprint.
