Scholarships
Below are scholarship opportunities for which you and your team MAY qualify. Read through them carefully and note that some may only be available to teams based at Duke University.
Dr. Rebecca Rogers Memorial Scholarship
We are excited to announce that a scholarship, in honor of Dr. Rebecca Rogers, a beloved 2014 alumna of the predecessor program of Duke APPLI, will be awarded to one APP team lead from the 2023-2024 Duke APPLI program cohort. The scholarship fund was created by a group of alumni in Dr. Rogers’ cohort and will support the mission of Duke APPLI to cultivate impactful and diverse health equity leaders as we honor the legacy of the late Dr. Rebecca Rogers.
The late Dr. Rebecca Rogers, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, passed away unexpectedly in July 2022 due to inflammatory breast cancer. She was an alumna of the inaugural cohort of the Duke Johnson & Johnson Nurse Leadership Program (currently known as the Duke APPLI), launched in May 2013. A California native, Dr. Rogers served as a long-time faculty member of Samuel Merritt University. At the time of her passing, Rebecca was the director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. Her family and colleagues highly regarded her as an accomplished academician, clinician, and leader in nursing.
The scholarship will support the call to action for APPs to serve as change agents and work with their interprofessional colleagues to promote health equity, galvanize resources for underserved communities and advocate for those whose voices and stories are often overlooked- just as Dr. Rogers so wisely commissioned nurse leaders to do.
