Good Samaritan Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Good Samaritan Foundation
Overview The Good Samaritan Foundation (GSF) awards direct scholarships to student nurses enrolled in clinical nursing courses to encourage careers in nursing and help address the significant nursing shortage in Texas. For most of its history, the Foundation’s primary method of support has been scholarship assistance that reduces the cost of nursing education. These awards also support the education and economic advancement of low- to moderate-income Texans and ease the financial-aid load on nursing programs.
