About

The nurses we need tomorrow are choosing their paths today.

Right now, talented nurses are doing the math—literally calculating whether they can afford graduate school. Some are walking away from becoming nurse practitioners, educators, and clinical leaders not because they lack passion or skill, but because the numbers just don't add up.

Here's what's at stake: Too many talented nurses are making impossible choices between financial security and advanced training. We're at risk of losing the nurse practitioners, educators, and clinical leaders our communities desperately need.

Your Giving Tuesday gift to the School of Nursing Graduate Student Aid Fund changes that equation.

What your support does:

  • Opens doors that finances would slam shut. When a nurse with high leadership potential has to choose between debt and their calling, your gift tips the scale toward possibility.
  • Multiplies your impact exponentially. The nurses teaching tomorrow's students? They need graduate degrees too. Your support helps practicing nurses level up and multiply their impact through the next generation of nurses.
  • Invests in the care you and your loved ones will need. The graduate student you help today could be the nurse practitioner treating your parent, the researcher finding better treatments, or the educator training nurse professionals in your community.

We cannot afford to lose promising nurse leaders to spreadsheets and loan calculators. Your Giving Tuesday gift to the School of Nursing Graduate Student Aid Fund ensures that the next generation of nursing leaders can focus on what matters—preparing to care for all of us.

For tomorrow's nursing leaders, Look to Michigan.
