Rush University College of Nursing Travel Award

Awarded to students to support travel to conferences to present posters. Amount is $1,000.

Each year the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) Student Poster Committee invites schools to reserve spots at the Student Poster Competition at the Annual Research Conference. Rush University College of Nursing can select and send prelicensure students, specialty MSN students, DNP students, and PhD students. Early in the Fall semester the call goes out and students are encouraged to contact their faculty advisor to discuss this wonderful opportunity and to work with them on developing an abstract for submission.

Abstracts are reviewed by the College of Nursing Research Committee in October or November each year. If the student’s abstract is selected by the committee to represent Rush University, they will receive:

• assistance in further development of the abstract and for the poster content
• support for poster production
• partial reimbursement for registration, hotel, and travel expenses.

The annual MNRS conference is held in the Spring.
