The Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) Program aims to bolster the ranks of primary care nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives who are well-equipped to deliver essential health care services, including primary care, mental health and substance use disorder care, and maternal health care. This grant program prioritizes the placement of advanced practice nursing students in underserved rural communities and within state and local health departments, offering them valuable extended clinical experiences.
Primary care nurse practitioners and nurse-midwifery students are eligible to apply for the ANEW award in the final year of their program. Students are awarded up to $20,000 toward their educational expenses.
In return, students are required to participate in the Poverty Simulation Workshop: an annual experience designed to give participants a glimpse into the structural barriers of poverty; participate in assigned ANEW activities, and complete an extended clinical rotation (minimum 3 months) in a rural and/or underserved area of New Mexico.
Students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) and submit a short essay detailing their career goals. Demonstrated financial need is taken into consideration.
