The goal of the Jonas Scholars program is to improve health care by expanding the pool of PhD and DNP-prepared nurses needed to educate the next generation of nurse leaders. Mentoring serves as a critical element to Jonas Scholars’ success throughout the program and post-graduation. As part of their faculty development curriculum, all Jonas Scholars will be paired with a mentor for the duration of the program.
For the 2026-2028 cohort, the Jonas Scholars program seeks ten mentors for a two-year commitment. The call for applications for mentors is now open with an application deadline of June 26, 2026.
