Student Support at CSON
With increased demands for health care and a shrinking nursing workforce, it is more important than ever for our school to empower the next generation of nurses.
Year after year, we are among the top graduate nursing programs in the United States, and our students are in high demand across health care. Upon graduation, more than 90% stay in Texas, directly replenishing our community’s nursing workforce. By making a gift to support students today, you will help tomorrow’s nurses develop the skills and expertise to care for patients and make a big impact on health in our communities.

At Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth, our students are driven, passionate learners dedicated to becoming future nursing professionals. But sometimes, external circumstances—like the COVID-19 pandemic and February’s Winter Storm Uri—can bring unexpected challenges and financial stress. Your gift to the Student Assistance Fund will provide emergency funding to help our students overcome hurdles and continue pursuing their education, ensuring they have the resources they need, when they need them most.
