The PhD Leadership Fellowship was established by graduates of IUSON who obtained the Doctor of Nursing Science (DNS) degree upon the occasion in May 2010 when Indiana University recognized the DNS degree as equivalent to the PhD degree. In appreciation and gratitude of how well the DNS degree prepared these, now PhD graduates, for successful careers in research, education, and/or practice this Fellowship was created in commemoration of the recognition. This fellowship supports future PhD nursing students.

The Pre-Doctoral Fellowship in Nursing Education was established in 2017 by Diane M. Billings, EdD, RN, FAAN, and Chancellor's Professor Emeritus upon her retirement. If there's one woman known at IUSON for fearlessly breaking barriers, it is Diane Billings. Billings maintains that her point of impact was implementing a plan to put a computer on the desk of all faculty and staff and developing a state-of-the-art computer center for students. Billings may have retired, but her legacy is visible all over IUSON today. One only needs to visit the simulation center and the learning lab at IUSON to see the innovative technologies to which the students now have access.
