The Impact of Giving

In Support of Our Students

Through these pages, you have seen the incredible impact that our community is making in the lives of mothers, babies, and families across the nation. However, there is more work to be done.

Though we are able, through the generosity of our donors, to provide nearly $500,000 annually to students in scholarships, this is merely a drop in the bucket when considering the need. Our students are working nurses, many times with families, who desire to meet the needs of their communities to provide quality care. In most cases, students are able to keep working while in their coursework. However, once they begin their clinical education most are not able to work which produces a double burden on their household of paying tuition and a loss of income. This leads to many students graduating with a student debt of around $60,000. TOGETHER WE CAN help these students reduce or eliminate their debt and, in so doing, we are making an impact on the health of our communities.

“Imagine the relief a student would feel at being given a scholarship to cover their tuition during their clinical education? Imagine the impact that would have on their lives.”

Imagine the relief a student would feel at being given a scholarship to cover their tuition during their clinical education? Imagine the impact that would have on their lives. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted our students’ need for assistance in unprecedented numbers.

Between March 2020 and March 2021, we received 120 requests for aid from our student emergency fund. During that same period between 2018 and 2019, only 27 students requested emergency scholarships.

I hope that the stories in this issue, and the alarming numbers shared above inspire you to make your own impact on the health of your community by making a donation to FNU. All donations support our students. General donations support institutional programs and assist us in

maintaining affordable tuition for our students. Donations can be made easily via mail by using the enclosed envelope or online at frontier.edu.

Scholarship-specific donations can also be made by using the enclosed envelope, online, or by contacting me at angela. bailey@frontier.edu. To increase the impact of your donation, you can also consider planned giving or endowing a scholarship. The options are many, and I welcome the opportunity to discuss the ways you can change the lives and health of families in your community and those across the country by making a gift to FNU today.
