                               NATIONS FUND, INC.

                        Nations International Growth Fund

                    Prospectus Supplement dated June 30, 1997
                       to Prospectuses dated May 23, 1997


     Kleinwort Benson Investment  Management Americas Inc. ("Kleinwort Benson"),
currently serves as the investment  sub-adviser to Nations  International Growth
Fund (the "Fund").  After July 11, 1997,  Gartmore Global Partners  ("Gartmore")
will replace Kleinwort Benson as investment sub-adviser to the Fund. NationsBanc
Advisors,  Inc.  ("NBAI") will  continue to serve as  investment  adviser to the
Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund has approved a  sub-advisory  agreement
with Gartmore that is  substantially  identical to the agreement among the Fund,
NBAI, and Kleinwort  Benson.  As such, for services  provided,  Gartmore will be
entitled  to  receive  from  NBAI  sub-advisory  fees,  computed  daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rate of .40% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to
and  including   $325,000,000  in  assets  and  .25%  on  assets  in  excess  of
$325,000,000.  In addition,  the Board of Directors  has approved an increase in
the fees  payable by NBAI to  Gartmore to .70% of the Fund's  average  daily net
assets. (Because sub-advisory fees are paid by NBAI, this proposed increase will
not affect the total level of advisory fees paid by the Fund.) It is anticipated
that  shareholders  of the  Fund  will  vote on the  proposed  arrangement  with
Gartmore by the end of September, 1997.

     Gartmore, with principal offices at One NationsBank Plaza, Charlotte, North
Carolina 28255, is a joint venture structured as a general  partnership  between
NB Partner Corp., a wholly owned  subsidiary of NationsBank,  N.A., and Gartmore
U.S.  Limited,  an indirect,  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Gartmore  Investment
Management   plc,  which  is  the  holding   company  for  a  leading   UK-based
international fund management group of companies.  National Westminster Bank plc
and affiliated entities own 100% of the equity of Gartmore Investment Management
plc.

     Brian  O'Neill  will be the  Portfolio  Manager for  Nations  International
Growth  Fund.  Mr.  O'Neill  is the  Principal  SeniorInvestment  Manager of the
Gartmore  Global  Portfolio  Team.  Mr.  O'Neill  joined  Gartmore  as a  Senior
Investment Manager on the Global Portfolio Team in 1981 with  responsibility for
a variety of specialized  global funds,  including  resource funds.  Mr. O'Neill
began  his  career  with  Royal  Insurance  in  1970  as an  investment  analyst

Sons where he was appointed as a fund manager,  specializing in global equities.

in Political Economy.
