***Donate yearly to the NSCDA American Indian Medical Scholarship Program
The American Indian Medical Scholarship Award Program (AIMS) was started by the NSCDA in 1928 to give students of American Indian descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing. The students are expected to return to work among their people to help improve health care. Some students work on reservations, and others find employment in hospitals in areas largely populated by American Indians. Intended originally to benefit females only, the program has expanded to include males and the career goals now include not only nursing careers, but jobs in health care and health education, as well.

•••Regular Vermont membership meetings with lunch and guest speaker; annually a joint meeting with NSCDA New Hampshire members

​•••Workshops on topics of interest that support our mission

•••The Dames: A traveling oral history and photography exhibit about NSCDA women in Vermont, created in partnership with the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury, Vermont. Recipient of the NSCDA’s 2018 Lamar Award to recognize and honor state projects that “reach for and achieve great heights in all of our mission areas.” The stories of these Dames bring to light life challenges met with grace and courage, opportunities embraced with pioneering spirit and preparedness, lives lived with a strong sense of purpose, and a coming to terms with aging.
