Give SMU Days 2024

YOUR SUPPORT TODAY PREPARES THE NURSING LEADERS OF TOMORROW

As a nursing supporter, you bring Samuel Merritt’s mission to life: creating skilled professionals who serve diverse communities. Thank you for transforming healthcare with us!

Since you share our vision for a healthier future, we wanted to share the College’s 2024 priorities with you: 

• Create a more diversified nursing workforce by supporting students from underrepresented communities. 

• Prepare students for the future of nursing with advanced degree options and digital literacy training. 

• Build on the out-of-the-box clinical experiences we innovated during the early COVID years.

Will you join us as we advance these causes through scholarship giving?

Scholarship funds help to cover tuition, fees, and living expenses enabling SMU students to focus more on their education and less on holding down a job or taking out student loans.

“Prior to this scholarship, I feared my childcare expenses would prevent me from achieving my dream of becoming a nurse. This money is going to help me continue being the dedicated, loving mother my child deserves, as well as become the skilled, knowledgeable, caring nurse that my future patients deserve.”
