This unique program identifies students in their junior year of high school and provides mentorship and support as they complete high school and enter college. The comprehensive curriculum, along with the guidance and support of our nursing leadership, will ensure a seamless transition from high school to a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
The EMPOWER program is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. The generosity of our donors has made this life-changing program possible. Their philanthropic spirit will have a lasting impact on our students and the health care field, and we are excited to witness the positive changes ahead.
We look forward to identifying our first EMPOWER students in early 2025.

Educational Excellence: Supporting students in their academic success
