2023 Ascension Providence Nurse Scholarship Recipients
Ascension Providence is committed to providing quality patient care and helping our associates reach their career goals. This is why the John F. Sheehy, Jr. Education Fund was created- to support Ascension Providence’s education plan of a multidisciplinary workforce with access to educational opportunities that further advance patient care for our community.
I am thrilled to share that this past spring, scholarship applications opened for the 2023 Ascension Texas Nurse Scholarship Program, and Ascension Providence had three nurses selected to receive $5,000 scholarships. It’s because of generous donors like you that opportunities like these nurse scholarships are a reality.
