Advancing Nursing through Scholarships and Grants
The Kim Rodrigues Foundation believes that Nursing is not just a career, but a Calling. Those answering this call, embark upon a challenging journey, academically and financially. Through scholarships and grants, the Kim Rodrigues Foundation aims to support new nursing students and continuing nursing students on this journey.
Currently, the Foundation has funded two $2500 Nursing Scholarships at Kim's alma mater, SUNY Orange, NY and has recognized the outstanding performance of Nurses from the University of Rhode Island and Quinnipiac University, with $1000 donations to those institutions, in their names. In 2025, the Foundation plans to double the number of scholarships as well as the amounts.
The Foundation’s scholarships will advance nursing and address the critical nursing shortage by:
· Reducing the financial burden on students: Providing opportunities for students from all backgrounds to pursue their passion for nursing without worrying about financial constraints.
· Providing access to education: Opening doors for those who might not otherwise be able to afford a nursing education.
· Promoting Excellence: The Foundation’s merit-based scholarships recognize outstanding academic achievements or performance in the field. By rewarding excellence, these scholarships contribute to promoting high standards in the nursing field.
· Specialization Support:Specialty-specific scholarships can target students interested in specific areas of nursing, such as pediatric, geriatric, or psychiatric nursing. These scholarships will encourage students and current nurses to advance in specialized fields within nursing, ensuring a well-trained workforce across various specialties.
Donations to the Foundation are used to fund Scholarships at Nursing Programs throughout the country.
Supporting The Kim Rodrigues Foundation, will not only benefit students and nurses but also contribute to the overall healthcare system by increasing the numbers of well-trained professionals in the nursing field.
