NNEI question

[jaznia15]

Good Afternoon,

I am fairly new to the VHA system, I've just completed my first trip around the sun and am awaiting this next year to fly by so I can be off of "probation".  I made the decision to finish out my nursing education degree and have applied to a DNP- no concentration program at a local public university.  My plan was to just pay for the four semesters out of pocket as a DNP does not grant a salary increase (I am already Nurse 3).  I am dual certified in FNP and PMHNP, currently working with the mental health service line within the VHA. 

 

I stumbled on a PDF after doing a Google search about possible scholarship programs within the VA.  Our HR is pretty spread out here as many are doing telework so I haven't gotten a straight answer about the program itself.  I'm wondering if the program will even pay for a DNP so I figured I'd ask here so I can find out if I'm wasting my time.
