Chapter scholarship development.

Abstract

The Great Lakes Chapter of the Intravenous Nurses Society developed a scholarship program to reward members for participation in INS activities and to promote the INS goals of education and knowledge sharing. Scholarships were awarded for holding office or committee work, educational activities or authorship, meeting attendance and recruitment efforts, and certification/recognition by INS. This article describes the point system used for awarding scholarships, program funding, and pitfalls in the program.
