McKesson Supports Nursing with Scholarships |
One of the ways McKesson supports the many faces of nursing is through educational scholarships. In fact, the McKesson Foundation recently announced an expansion of its grant to the Foundation of the National Student Nurses’ Association (FNSNA) to fund undergraduate nursing scholarships. Since funding twenty-five $1,000 scholarships for the 2007-2008 academic year, McKesson awarded FNSNA an additional $50,000, which will fund fifty $1,000 scholarships for the 2008-2009 academic year.
The scholarships are awarded to students with financial need. If the student is eligible, the scholarship is also renewable for a second year. One beneficiary of the McKesson/FNSNA scholarship program is Alison Hain, a pre-licensure nursing student at Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, Calif. “I am weeks away from completing my second year in the nursing program and am excited at the prospect of becoming a nurse and serving the Sonoma County population. My program of study is labor intensive. By offsetting the expense of school, I am able to reduce the number of hours I have to work so that I may focus wholeheartedly on nursing. Your support of my education also helps me give back to my campus community and the profession of nursing.”In sponsoring undergraduate nursing scholarships through FNSNA, the McKesson Foundation continues to fulfill its mission to build strong and healthy communities that enjoy a high quality of life. Students who plan on a career in nursing and wish to apply for a McKesson/FNSNA scholarship may download the application from www.nsna.org under Foundation. |
