Doctoral Study - Create Your Desired Future
Click HERE for Sources for Educational Funding for Doctoral Nursing Students (PDF)
 It is a great time for doctoral study in nursing, especially in geriatrics - the need is understood, support is available, and nurses are taking the lead in health care for aging adults. Admitted students committed to geriatrics and a career as an academic educator are eligible for doctoral scholarships offered by our Center that include tuition and travel monies. The brochure Discover Your Future as a Hartford Geriatric Nursing Education Scholar outlines this initiative, and we’d be happy to discuss it more fully with you.
As Director of the Scholar program, Professor Ruth Lindquist is familiar with the variety of focus areas and extensive collaborative opportunities awaiting you. She welcomes questions via phone at 612-624-5646 or email at lindq002@umn.edu. Ruth is happy to discuss PhD/DNP program differences, financial support, balancing work/school/life and other factors that affect your potential doctoral study, as well as recommending faculty with interests similar to your own.
If you haven’t already, take a look at the current program information at http://www.nursing.umn.edu/PhD/home.html and http://www.nursing.umn.edu/DNP/home.html. The Office of Student and Career Advancement Services staff, as well as program directors, can assist in decision making, timing, and the application process. Applications for 2011 enrollment are available via login at https://secure.ahc.umn.edu/nursing/applications/student/index.cfm?flush=1.
