SAWC Spring Nursing and Physician Scholarships 

The AAWC has the honor of selecting AAWC members to be awarded the SAWC Nursing and Physician Scholarships. The scholarships provide members with complimentary conference registration (a $500 value) and recognition during the SAWC Scholarship Ceremony. The complimentary registration is courtesy of HMP Communications (HMP); other organizations are selected by HMP to choose the winners from other disciplines. Congratulations to the 2017 SAWC Spring Scholarship Winners: Penny Hormann, RN, BSN, CCM, CWOCN, CFCN, Milbank, SD (Nursing); and Vita Boyar, MD, CWS, Great Neck, NY (Physician).

If you are interested in receiving a free registration to SAWC Fall in Las Vegas, NV, please visit the AAWC website’s homepage in late April for a brief and easy application.
