Scanlan International wants to see people reach their dreams. Each year, the Scanlan International, Inc. Scholarship – one of many generous scholarships annually awarded by AORN – helps nurses do just that.

Based on criteria established by the AORN Scholarship Board and funded through the AORN foundation, these scholarships are awarded to any registered nurse (with 12 continuous months of active AORN membership) who would like to undertake a baccalaureate, master’s degree, or doctoral program in nursing or its related fields.

Scanlan is very proud to announce that Deborah Aiello, a student at Clemson University in South Carolina, was recently selected as Scanlan Scholarship recipient for the 1993-94 academic year.

This scholarship, which pays for all tuition and registration fees, will assist Ms. Aiello in her pursuit of a Master of Science degree in Nursing.

Congratulations, Deborah, and best of luck for the coming year!

UPDATE

The AORN Scholarship from Scanlan was so very much appreciated, and most certainly helped me to achieve the goals (and more) that I set out to achieve! Once again, I want to personally thank Scanlan for providing me with funds to continue my education, and I look forward to stopping by the Scanlan booth while in Chicago during the AORN Congress!
