American Indian Medical Scholarship Program

The American Indian Medical Scholarship Award Program (AIMS) was started by the NSCDA in 1928 to give students of American Indian descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing. The students are expected to return to work among their people to help improve health care. Some students work on reservations, and others find employment in hospitals in areas largely populated by American Indians. Intended originally to benefit females only, the program has expanded to include males and the career goals now include not only nursing careers, but jobs in health care and health education, as well.

The current goal is to grant a $1,500 scholarship each semester, as long as the student remains in academic good standing. The scholarship money is restricted to tuition and specific academic expenses. To meet the financial demands of their education, many students seek additional government grants and subsidies and maintain part-time jobs.

NSCDA Attingham Scholarship

The Attingham Summer School is an intensive three-week program, based in Britain, that provides students unprecedented access to the collections and landscapes of English Country Houses. The specialized level of curatorial expertise offered by attending Attingham is truly unique and gives attendees a keen understanding of the significance of the selected properties and collections.

National Headquarters Dumbarton House staff have attended the Attingham Summer School and believe the value of the experience and impact on their work is impossible to quantify. They were granted behind the scenes access to 26 English Country Houses and gained knowledge in decorative and fine arts conservation, house museum management, collections care, and interpretation.

To support the NSCDA museum properties nationally in their collections and interpretive work, the NSCDA established a scholarship on 2013 to support staff participation in the Attingham Summer School. The NSCDA Attingham Committee encourages outstanding, highly qualified museum professionals, employed by a Great American Treasures property, to apply to the Attingham Summer School.

Application instructions for the NSCDA Attingham Scholarship can be found here HERE. For further information about the Summer School and how to apply, please visit the American Friends of Attingham.
