ICN/3M scholars: tomorrow's nursing leaders

For over 20 years ICN and the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (3M) have sponsored a scholarship programme directed toward helping nurses further their education in nursing. Since then 48 nurses have been provided the needed funds to reach their professional goals and subsequently to help answer their country's healthcare needs. Their degrees and expertise have opened up professional doors but most of all have given them the confidence to become driving forces in initiating research and other programmes that aim to provide quality care to all their countries' citizens.
