Scholarship Program Information

Scholarships have been designed to integrate into programs of study and maximize funding. Each program of study will have a different route to the geriatric subspecialty or gerontology interdisciplinary graduate certificate. Students will work closely with their Program Advisor and the Hartford Center Project Administrator to leverage scholarship funding. Scholarship applications are now closed; however, students are encouraged to explore the subspecialty and graduate certificate program to enhance geriatric expertise.

Noorda Geriatric Subspecialty

The Geriatric Subspecialty has been designed for students to develop concentrated knowledge to be prepared to teach geriatric or gerontological content. This nine-hour subspecialty can be acquired by incorporating geriatric nursing and gerontology classes into coursework.

Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program Graduate Certificate

A specialized 15-hour graduate certificate program has been designed to prepare adult care graduates as geriatric nursing experts qualified to provide faculty for basic and advanced practice nursing programs in community colleges, colleges and universities. The gerontology certificate will be indicated on a student's transcript.
