Meet the many faces of philanthropy. We celebrate and recognize the diverse ways individuals contribute to the culture of generosity. At the School of Nursing, everyone can be part of this culture, no matter the size of your contribution. Every gift makes a difference and helps shape the future of nursing and make a positive impact on healthcare and our community.
Understand your Impact
School of Nursing Scholarships
- Scholarships help the school attract and retain top nursing students by relieving financial burdens. Annual scholarships start at $5,000, and named endowed scholarships begin at $30,000.
Community Engagement Fund
- The community engagement fund supports the School of Nursing’s efforts to impact the local community and beyond. Gifts may fund immersion trips for Nursing students to serve in underserved areas or support Nurse Camp for high school students to explore nursing careers.
Student Services Fund
- Students sometimes face challenges like food insecurity, housing instability, or financial struggles that impact their ability to focus on Nursing School. To help, students can apply for up to $1,000 in discretionary funds to support their needs. These funds are facilitated by the Student Affairs team and the Dean to ensure students remain in school and maintain their performance.
Faculty Innovation Fund
- Our faculty constantly seek ways to enhance student experiences, support scholarships, and improve community care. This fund fuels innovative ideas, fosters faculty research, and strengthens community partnerships.
Naming Opportunities
- The School of Nursing offers many naming opportunities for donors including annual and endowed scholarships, fellowships, endowed chairs, as well as within the School and at the SIM Center.
“I hope with every gift that I make, it encourages others to give. I think, often, people think that they have to make these large gifts to make an impact, but here, we use every dollar and every dollar counts. No matter how small or how large the gift, the culture of philanthropy is important.”Nakia Jackson-Hale, Staff
