(TAMPA, Fla., 7/12/22) - The Hillsborough Community College Foundation announced the first corporate gift in support of the new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at HCC. The $5,000 donation from Gale Healthcare Solutions, which will be matched by the Gregory Foundation for a total of $10,000, will provide scholarships to ten students who will be part of the inaugural class starting this fall.
“On behalf of the Hillsborough Community College Foundation, I’d like to thank Gale Healthcare Solutions for helping us get this important new nursing education program off the ground,” said Executive Director Stephen Shear. “As an organization that shares our strong commitment to nursing education, we greatly appreciate their support and partnership.”
Ten nursing students will receive $1,000 each to help with tuition, books, and other expenses as they begin their BSN completion program.
“Gale Healthcare Solutions is committed to finding solutions that address the national nursing shortage, and that includes supporting nursing education,” said Tony Braswell, Gale President and Founder. “We congratulate Hillsborough Community College on the launch of this new nursing program and look forward to helping these first students as they pursue their nursing careers.”
The Gale Healthcare Solutions gift was made in December 2021. Following a competitive process, the scholarships will be awarded based on several criteria including previous academic achievement and work in healthcare settings.
