老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Nursing Endowed Scholarship
The number one reason students leave nursing school is financial hardship. Endowed scholarships create that reliable source of support our students so desperately need. With your help, we can assure students that financial assistance will be there for them from their first year to their last. 老澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 Nursing Endowed Scholarship provides financial assistance to nursing students enrolled in 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 nursing programs across 15 campuses in the state. As we strive to create a community of Alaskans caring for Alaskans, we invite your support and friendship in this effort.
Background
The Alaska health care and social assistance sector will grow by over 5,000 jobs through 2028, far more than any other industry. This trend will continue as our population ages and health care needs increase. To fill the gap, providers frequently hire traveling or temporary nurses, yet this is an expensive solution that results in higher medical costs for everyone.
Fortunately, at this critical juncture for our state, 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 continues to prioritize health degrees. With your help, we can uplift and fast-track more nursing students to make a positive impact on our communities.
Tina DeLapp, former director and professor emerita at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录's School of Nursing, joined with fellow nursing faculty members Judy Petersen and Patti Hong to establish the Nursing Endowed Scholarship. It was fully endowed after receiving major support from the Alaska Kidney Foundation.
