Learner Disaster Relief Fund
Ends on
The Learner Disaster Relief Fund is offered to current Nightingale College Learners who are experiencing or have been affected by a current disaster and need financial assistance to be able to continue their respective nursing program at Nightingale College. When disaster strikes, Nightingale College learners may not have access to their everyday support systems, resources, and basic needs. Yet, even in the face of adversity, many learners want to continue their education and give back to their communities as future nurses.
