Education & scholarships
Investing in the next generation has been at the heart of this association since the early 1980s — on both shores.
Programs
Four ways we support students and nurses.
Dr. Randolph Sampson Scholarship
Distributed across Guyana — in Georgetown, Linden, and Berbice — supporting aspiring nurses at the start of their professional journey.
Mentoring program
Guidance for students from middle school through undergraduate study, helping them explore careers in nursing and allied health professions.
Continuing education
Members present and take part in transcultural nursing symposia and Caribbean nursing conferences, sharing research and advancing professional practice.
By the numbers
A lasting investment in education.
Scholarships have gone to students from high school to graduate school in the United States, and to nursing students at schools across Guyana — alongside textbooks, computers, and program support for the BSc Nursing program at the University of Guyana.
