CVS Health Foundation supports Clemson nursing students through scholarships
March 6, 2017
The CVS Health Foundation has awarded five Clemson School of Nursing graduate students with scholarships as they complete their studies to become family nurse practitioners. The scholarship funds were awarded through the CVS Health Foundation Advance Practice Nurse and Physician Assistant Scholarship program, which is aimed a reducing the nationwide shortage of family nurse practitioners and physician assistants by supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Students were selected based on strong academic standing, and must intern or volunteer with an organization that supports underserved populations. At least 25 percent of the scholarships were awarded to bilingual students.
