Each year, the Northeast Ohio Nurse Practitioners provides the Joan German Scholarship Fund for making an annual $750 award to a deserving, eligible NP student.

This program is named in memory of Joan German who was an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner who truly believed in and practiced better healthcare for women.  Joan served as NEONP's Program Committee Chair for many years, and we are proud to name this scholarship after her.

The latest scholarship application, details and guidelines will be published here later this year, in the fall.  (To review last year's NEONP Joan German Scholarship application, click here.)

The Ohio Association of Advanced Practice Nurses awards four $1,000 scholarships annually to encourage the development of APNs.  Recipients must be enrolled in a master's program in the State of Ohio, leading to a degree as an APN, or in a post master's certificate program.  There are other selection criteria for these scholarship awards.

In order to recognize the contributions of APNs in the State of Ohio, the Ohio Association of Advanced Practice Nurses gives annual "Excellence Awards" in these areas: Education, Political Action, Practice, Research, and Service; and The Legislator of the Year and other recognition awards.

Nominations of APNs, agencies and professionals are solicited from throughout the state.  Additional OAAPN Excellence Awards information, including nomination forms, is available under the heading "OAAPN Awards Program" online by clicking here.

Each year, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners recognizes outstanding achievements by NPs and NP advocates by presenting the AANP State Awards for Excellence throughout the year and the nation.
