> geriatric nursing research and education.
>
> Unique among scholarship and fellowship opportunities, this program
> deliberately strives to build leadership skills and national
> connections
> while supporting high quality research training.

> Over the past 7 years we’ve learned that most candidates learn of and
> follow through with application to this program from their schools of
> nursing. Therefore, with respect, I ask you to encourage students and
> faculty within your institution to seriously consider these
> opportunities.

> The Claire M. Fagin Fellowship provides $60,000 of support for each of
