• INCCP Scholarship Application

    Integrative Nurse Coach® Certificate Program

  • Each year, the Integrative Nurse Coach® Academy awards four full-tuition scholarships for the Integrative Nurse Coach® Certificate Program (INCCP). Each covers full tuition for the Certification pathway, a $4,300 value. Finalists can also receive partial scholarships of up to $1,500, with no separate application.

    INCA faculty review every application blind. Your name and contact details are removed before reviewers read your answers.

    Before you start: have your RN license number and employer details ready, and draft your essay in a document first. You can save your progress and finish later.

    Full details are on the Scholarships page.
