AACN Government Affairs
Appropriations
AACN works to obtain adequate funding (appropriations) to support nursing education and research. For more information, see Overview of the Authorization-Appropriations Process.
Authorizations
AACN works to create or to renew (authorize or reauthorize) federal programs that
support nursing education institutions and students, nursing practice, and Medicare
support of advanced practice nursing education. For more information, see Overview of the Authorization-Appropriations Process.
Entitlements
AACN works to protect and extend nursing student and practice interests in programs
that are automatically funded (no annual appropriations required) by the federal
government such as student loans and Medicare. For example, Federal Family Education
Loans under the Higher Education Act provide subsidized and unsubsidized loans
for undergraduate and graduate nursing education.
