Nursing Scholarship Program Overview


Through the generosity of our donors, and as part of our commitment to strengthen the healthcare workforce in our community, Palm Healthcare Foundation annually funds a needs-based scholarship program to encourage individuals to enter the nursing profession.  To address the nursing faculty shortage, we also provide scholarships to graduate students pursuing a nursing faculty course of study.
