Pamela Austin Thompson Fellowship Fund

Pamela Austin Thompson Fellowship Fund

Named in honor of AONL CEO Emeritus Pamela Austin Thompson to recognize Pam’s many contributions to the profession of nursing leadership, the Pamela Austin Thompson Fellowship Fund was established to support the AONL Nurse Manager and Nurse Director Fellowship programs and participants.

Thanks to generous support from AONL Foundation donors, the AONL Foundation is proud to offer financial aid for fellowship tuition to nurse leaders, with priority for nurse leaders from small, rural, or critical access organizations, to participate in the 2026 Nurse Manager or Nurse Director Fellowship programs.

Applications will open in the fall for the 2027 AONL Nurse Manager and Nurse Director Fellowship Programs.
