Membership Subsidies

Chapters and members of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) have a proud history of helping individuals who need assistance with their membership dues. This investment provides future leaders with access to the knowledge, services, and partnerships offered by Sigma. 

There are two subsidy programs available. We invite you to apply for a subsidy, should you have a need. Applications may be submitted any time during our fiscal year (July 1 to June 30).  Once all funds have been distributed, the scholarship process is closed until the next July 1. 

*NOTE: Do not complete a Membership Subsidy Application until you have received an official invitation from Sigma for membership through your Chapter. 

Sigma Membership Subsidy

Through the Edith Anderson Membership Subsidy, Sigma will underwrite up to 75% of the membership dues for individuals experiencing financial difficulties if their chapter cannot assist. Those eligible for the subsidy include but are not limited to, any new or existing Sigma members undergoing temporary financial difficulties who require assistance to activate or continue their membership. You will be notified within 5-7 business days of your approval.

Omicron Delta Membership Subsidy

The Scholarship Committee of Omicron Delta is dedicated to the processes of awarding qualified applicants subsidies to assist with membership dues.  Omicron Delta offers ten Membership Subsidies to UOP nursing students in the form of membership dues reimbursement.  Once application is received, the chapter will confirm the receipt of the application and let you know when you can expect a decision from the Scholarship Committee.  

  • The applicant must be a member of Omicron Delta to be eligible.
  • The applicant must be currently enrolled in a nursing program, receiving an advanced nursing degree.
  • The applicant should submit a 200 to 300-word statement on why he or she should be considered for the scholarship.
  • The statement must address how the individual intends to be involved in the chapter (in addition to just being a member).

   Membership Subsidy Application   

NOTE: Please make sure to first apply for the Sigma Membership Subsidy before applying for the Chapter subsidy.  Chapter subsidies are only considered once we receive notification that a member has applied through their Edith Anderson Program.
