SCHOLARSHIP RECOGNITION

Scholarship recipients for the first funding period of the 1999-2000 year are pictured on the following pages, along with information about the degrees they are pursuing, the schools they attend, and the scholarships they received.

During Congress, the Foundation will host a luncheon in honor of the scholarship recipients and donors. Scholarship recipients' local chapters have been notified about their members who have received scholarships and are encouraged to recognize and celebrate these members' accomplishments. The 1999-2000 AORN Scholarship Board members are Jane Alcock, RN, BSN, CNOR; Leslie Blakley chair, RN, BSN, CNOR, CRNFA; Margaret J. Sudduth, RN, MHS, CNOR; Marlene Craden, RN, BSN, CNOR, CNRFA; Winsome Miller, RN, CNOR; and Twilla Barlow, staff consultant.

The Board is most appreciative of the financial support provided by the scholarship contributors (Table 1). Their continued support of perioperative nursing through education funding is integral to the success and strength of AORN and the perioperative nursing specialty. The Board encourages all AORN members to thank the Foundation and the contributors for this valuable membership benefit.
