THE AMERICAN INDIAN MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

Officially adopted by the NSCDA as a national project in the 1930s, the American Indian Medical Scholarship (AIMS) gives students of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hawaiian Native descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing, healthcare, and health education. The scholarship is specifically designed to assist students who, following graduation, plan to work on reservations or in hospitals that serve Native populations with the goal of improving healthcare within those communities.
