The recipient must demonstrate a commitment to the field of gerontological nursing practice by submitting an application statement detailing what the student is doing to improve clinical practice in gerontological nursing (e.g. presenting research at conferences, publishing articles, serving in leadership roles in geriatric practice, conducting research to inform clinical practice).

Approval of the recipient will be made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, Graduate Awards Committee upon the recommendation of the School of Nursing.
