Nursing Leadership Education Grants

The majority—and sometimes 100%—of Leadership Education Grant applicants accepted to present their nursing research at a Sigma educational conference are unable to attend if they do not receive financial assistance to help offset registration and travel expenses.

With your support, we can help deserving nurses in practice or academe attend a Sigma conference to share their work and to network with nurse leaders from around the globe—what many have deemed a “life-changing experience.”

If you are interested in partnering with Sigma on the awarding of a of Leadership Education Grants, please contact chris@sigmanursing.org.

“I received a grant to attend Leadership Connection and found it a life-changing experience. I met Sigma experts in my field of geriatrics who were very encouraging and personally interested in my work. I am EXTREMELY grateful for the financial help to get to this conference,and want to thank Sigma for all its help.”

— Amy Ellis, Leadership Education Grant Recipient
