Having worked in impoverished villages and slums in India, Robert Jackson decided to dedicate his life to the nursing profession.
He’s enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Nursing program with an emphasis in addiction and applying for the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at WSU.
“Every endeavor worth achieving comes with a price of admission,” he says. “For some, the price is a health challenge or perhaps a difficult family situation, and for others, like myself, the challenge is financial. Your generous gift is invaluable, making it possible for me to complete my nursing education.”
Robert is just one of the Washington State University College of Nursing students who received scholarships this year to support their WSU experience.
Donor investments are crucial to the College of Nursing’s ability to offer this aid. To find out how you can support students like Robert, please visit our website.
Washington State University acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native peoples, who have lived in this region from time immemorial. Currently, there are 42 tribes, 35 of which are federally recognized that share traditional homelands and waterways in what is now Washington State. Some of these are nations and confederacies that represents multiple tribes and bands. The University expresses its deepest respect for and gratitude towards these original and current caretakers of the region. As an academic community, we acknowledge our responsibility to establish and maintain relationships with these tribes and Native peoples, in support of tribal sovereignty and the inclusion of their voices in teaching, research and programming. Washington State University established the Office of Tribal Relations and Native American Programs to guide us in our relationship with tribes and service to Native American students and communities. We also pledge that these relationships will consist of mutual trust, respect, and reciprocity.
