As an organization, the AC Forum is working to increase awareness and promote diversity in our leadership, membership, and programming. As part of this initiative, we are pleased to offer scholarships to our National Conference program to support the ongoing education of clinicians from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups or those with a determined financial need.

Terri Schnurr Memorial Nursing Scholarship

Abstract Research Award & Travel Stipend
