Dean M. Cox Memorial Scholarship

Name: Dean M. Cox Memorial Scholarship

Award Amount: $3,000

Information And Eligibility:
The Dean M. Cox Memorial Scholarship was established by David Javaheri in memory of Dean M. Cox, CRNA, to honor his lasting commitment to education within the nurse anesthesia profession. This scholarship recognizes nurse anesthesia residents who actively promote education, mentorship, and professional growth among peers, students, and the broader CRNA community.

Education is the foundation of safe, effective anesthesia practice, and this scholarship places a strong emphasis on residents who contribute to strengthening the profession through teaching, leadership, advocacy, or mentorship. Eligible applicants must clearly demonstrate their role in advancing education within nurse anesthesia and articulate how their efforts positively impact current or future CRNAs.

As part of the application process, residents are required to include a detailed summary—at least one full paragraph—within their essay describing how they promote education in the CRNA profession. This may include formal or informal teaching roles, preceptorship, participation in educational initiatives, involvement in professional organizations, conference presentations, research dissemination, or advocacy efforts that enhance learning and professional development.

Ten scholarships are awarded annually, reflecting the importance of broad support for educational leadership across the nurse anesthesia community. By funding multiple residents each cycle, the Dean M. Cox Memorial Scholarship helps amplify educational efforts nationwide and encourages residents to take active roles in shaping the future of the profession.

Nurse anesthesia education demands significant personal, academic, and financial investment. This scholarship helps offset the costs associated with training while reinforcing the value of educational service within the profession. Recipients exemplify the spirit of Dean M. Cox by fostering knowledge-sharing, professional collaboration, and continuous improvement in anesthesia practice.

Through this award, Dean M. Cox’s legacy lives on in residents who prioritize education as a cornerstone of patient safety, professional excellence, and the long-term strength of the CRNA profession.
