"After many years of supporting a variety of programs to help meet unaddressed healthcare needs in the Houston metropolitan area, the Board of Directors of the Houston Nursing Education Foundation has decided to focus all of its resources on providing scholarships to nursing students who plan to practice in our community. This decision was based on the Board’s desire to help address the critical shortage of nurses and its belief that a more targeted use of the Foundation’s available funds will have a greater impact. As a result, the Foundation plans to change its name to the Houston Nursing Education Foundation in order to better reflect its mission.
As we move forward, we are delighted to support an expanded cohort of individuals who plan to pursue a career in nursing or enhance their credentials in the field."
