John W. Maitland, Jr. -- Joseph F. Warner Long Term Care Nurses Scholarship Fund
Each year, the John W. Maitland, Jr. -- Joseph F. Warner Long Term Care Nurses Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to individuals seeking to pursue nursing degrees and employment in long term care in Illinois.
The fund was created to honor Senator John W. Maitland, Jr., and Joseph F. Warner, two champions of long term care in Illinois.
Senator Maitland is considered to have done more to advance the needs of the long term care profession and residents in the General Assembly than any other elected official in Illinois. Warner is credited with spending countless hours educating legislators and elected officials about long term care issues. A former IHCA board president, he truly valued the power of education and his company, Heritage Enterprises, Inc., annually awards continuing education scholarships to employees.
The Maitland-Warner Long Term Care Nurses Scholarship fund will award up to 10 $1,000 scholarships for the 2011-2012 school year. To qualify, an applicant:
- Must have completed the prerequisites for an RN or LPN program and be accepted into a nursing program on a full-time or part-time basis.
- Must be working in an assisted living or long term care facility (either full-time or part-time), or be a full-time student in a nursing program and have an interest in long term care nursing.
- Must provide proof of satisfactory completion of the semester for which the scholarship is awarded.
- Should be willing to work as an RN or LPN in an IHCA-member facility/program.
