Barbara Lumpkin Legislative Scholarship 2024 Application

Since 2011, the SFCAPN has awarded the Barbara Lumpkin Legislative Scholarship to two graduate students each year at the SFCAPN Primary Care conference. This scholarship was developed to honor one of the most respected leaders in the Florida nursing community that worked so diligently on all nursing issues. Barbara encouraged others to become involved as leaders in their own community and become actively involved in legislative practice issues on the state and national level. Two scholarships will be available for $1000.00 each. A scholarship will be given to one Doctoral student and one APRN student, who are current SFCAPN members. The application deadline is August 15, 2024. The scholarships will be awarded at the September Primary Care Conference.
