SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED
The Nursing School Gift Program
As part of our mission in improving our member’s overall health, MSGA is actively seeks to help students studying to become future nurses by providing gifts to various nursing schools. These gifts have enabled those schools to provide scholarships to a number of their own nursing students who might otherwise not have been able to complete their studies due to financial stress. The following are schools we have proudly supported over the years:
St. Louis University
MSGA worked with St. Louis University to establish the MSGA Nursing Scholarship Fund and gifted a total of $90,000 in 2017, $25,000 in 2018, $25,000 in 2019, $25,000 in 2020, $15,000 in 2021 and $15,000 in 2022 into this fund. The Go Further Scholarship initiative via St. Louis University has a matching program that doubled the impact of the gifts. Thanks to donations from MSGA and the matching funds, the scholarship fund grew to $280,000 and is awarded to those nursing students who show financial need and academic success.

College of St. Mary
Located in Omaha, Nebraska, the College of Saint Mary is a Catholic women’s university that has an outstanding nursing program. MSGA provided $75,000 in 2017, $25,000 in 2018, $25,000 in 2019, $25,000 in 2020, $15,000 in 2021, and $15,000 in 2022 to the school which in turn has provided 36 students with $5,000 scholarships.
