How do we meet the critical scholarship needs of our nursing students, fund faculty research grants and pay for special nursing projects or lab space or sorely needed equipment? Through community support, endowments and faculty research grants.
PARTNERS, organized in 1994 as a support group for students and faculty, raises funds through the annual membership drive and Spring luncheon to provide nursing scholarships, faculty research grants and special project funding. PARTNERS Scholarship Endowment, now grown to more than $1,000,000, since its founding, has awarded more than 50 full-tuition and fees nursing scholarships to students enrolled in the BSN, RN-BSN, Accelerated BSN, MSN, Nursing Anesthesia, and DSN programs. In support of faculty members at the UT School of Nursing, the organization also provides seed money grants to assist faculty in pilot projects that can lead to the development of research grant proposals submitted for external funding.
In addition to assisting with the funding needs of both students and faculty researchers, PARTNERS’ Student Services Committee looks after the creature comforts of hard-working nursing students by providing an environmental, state-of-the-art student lounge for studying and socializing (available to all UT Health Science Center at Houston students), providing food and beverages during exams, and awarding each BSN graduate with the prestigious UT School of Nursing pin at graduation.
PARTNERS also sponsors a free, open to the public, health-related lecture series for the community that features nurses and physicians from across The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. |
