School of Nursing Fund for Excellence

Your gifts  to the School of Nursing Fund for Excellence support our undergraduate students who engage in community service events such as blood pressure screenings, our Stop the Bleed program, Teddy Bear clinics for children and programs to encourage high school students to consider careers in nursing.

Your gifts also support our nationally recognized graduate students and faculty — expert researchers, clinicians and educators who raise academic standards by presenting at national meetings and forums and publishing in academic journals. 

Finally, your gifts to the Fund for Excellence support research studies that will influence the future of healthcare. 

Please make a gift to the School of Nursing today.

Gifts may be made through an outright contribution of cash, securities, real estate or other real or personal property, as well as through planned giving, annual giving, estate gifts such as bequests and trusts, and life income gifts such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts.
