Third Annual Scholarship and Awards Breakfast

Celebrate the future of the psychiatric ARNP profession at the third annual Scholarship and Awards Breakfast from 8:00-9:00 a.m. Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Lynnwood Event Center.

The breakfast, co-hosted by the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation and the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (AAPPN), is an opportunity to reconnect with friends and strengthen our psychiatric ARNP community. You'll meet our 2026 scholarship recipients and AAPPN’s 2026 award recipients.

In addition to our scholars and their friends and families, you’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast with fellow practitioners who run the gamut in terms of experience and practice area.

Since its inception, the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation has awarded $125,000 in scholarships. Our scholars have gone on to become leaders in their communities and in the nursing profession.

This year, we’re proud to announce that we are awarding a record nine scholarships!

The concurrent rise in depression and substance abuse issues has ignited conversation about mental health and destigmatized diagnosis and treatment. Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners are urgently needed to provide a holistic approach to mental and behavioral healthcare.
