2018-2019 Experienced Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy (ENFLA) Application Instructions

What are the Online Application Steps?

HINT! - To efficiently complete the online application, we suggest that the Scholar gathers all the required information and documents prior to starting the application steps.

The online application process is a "step by step" submission. You must complete all the required information in each step before the online system will allow you to advance to the next step. Please note, at any point during the submission process prior to the deadline you can return to a previously completed step to modify or edit the information.

1. Enter the Title
• Application title is simply so your submission can be identified in the online system. We suggest using the wording "Experienced Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy" followed by the Scholar's name.
• Submitter's email address - sometimes universities and/or institutions block these emails, mistaking them for spam. We encourage you to add stti_leadership@confex.com to your address book in order to ensure you receive communication regarding your submission.
• Read and acknowledge the 'Eligibility Statements' to the program.
• Make a note of ID and Password (found in upper left corner of Control Panel). Once you begin your application, you may return to it at any time until the cutoff date. You may edit or add information. Instructions to access application are listed below.
2. Add the Scholar and Leadership Mentor
• Include personal contact information for both home and work. If you do not know all the personal contact information, you may log in and add it later.
• Upon adding the participant, an email will be generated. However, sometimes universities and/or institutions block these emails, mistaking them for spam. We encourage you to add stti_leadership@confex.com to your address book in order to ensure you receive communication regarding your submission.
3. Answer the Application Questions
• The application questions for the Scholar and Leadership Mentor should be no more than the word limit set for each question. We encourage you to complete these questions offline first. This portion of the application will not save unless all fields have content in them. Therefore, if you need to leave the system, and come back to it, please enter "N/A" in the fields that have not been completed.
