MARK YOUR CALENDAR! OUR NEXT RAISE YOUR PICK GIVING DAY IS ON APRIL 17, 2024!
College of Nursing Scholarships

For nearly 50 years, the UTEP College of Nursing has been preparing the best and the brightest nurses in our region. On Raise Your Pick Giving Day, we are asking our alumni and community to help remove barriers to an excellent education and empower the next generation of nurses by supporting student scholarships. When our students can focus on their studies and complete their degrees, they enter the workforce quicker and more industry-ready to serve and make quality care more accessible in our region.

“By reducing the financial burden for students, scholarship funds help students focus on what is important to their success, which is studying and graduating. As a nurse, I hope to be able to give back to the community and show the immense impact those who contributed to my education indirectly invested in the health of our community.” — Issac Castorena ’22, Nursing

We hope you will raise your pick for nursing students on April 12! Thank you in advance for contributing to access and opportunity.

The College of Nursing is also seeking support for the Nursing Simulation Lab. Click the button below to learn more.
