Each term, Frontier Nursing University’s (FNU) Chi Pi Chapter of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) awards several students with financial scholarships. To qualify for STTI membership, students must have completed at least a quarter of their degree program, hold a 3.5 or higher grade point average and demonstrate academic excellence.
For the 2022 Spring Term, three nurse practitioner students received the scholarship, including Jeanne Chutuape, Mara Glantz, and Elizabeth Carr. Congratulations to FNU’s Spring 2022 Chi Pi scholarship recipients! The FNU community is proud of your dedication to hard work.

Mara Glantz, DNP student, Stillwater, Minn.
“I am thankful for this scholarship because it will allow me to step into a more full-time student role and complete the DNP program in less time and with less debt. I am dedicated to improving the health of my community, I am a seasoned nurse with 15 years in the profession and I have many more years to give. The sooner I am able to graduate with the DNP, the sooner I can begin to teach the next generation of nurses.”
Jeanne Chutuape, PMHNP student, Fairfax, Va.
“What an honor to receive this scholarship award. As I have been doing a lot of traveling for my clinical training, the scholarship will help defray those costs. I have learned so much from clinicals and this grant definitely takes some of the worry out of balancing the travel cost of clinical training in my stretched budget.”
Elizabeth Carr, CNEP student, Lexington, Ky.
“This scholarship will allow me to continue focusing on my clinical learning. Due to the increased cost of travel, it has been particularly challenging to commute to my multiple clinical sites, so this scholarship will facilitate my clinical experiences via travel.”
Elizabeth Carr, CNEP student at Frontier Nursing University.
