An anonymous donor has gifted $11.1 million to Yale School of Nursing in New Haven, Conn., marking the single largest donation in the school's history. The university has committed to match the gift, according to an Oct. 25 news release.
Two notes:
- The gift will support full-tuition scholarships to six experienced nurses pursuing an MSN each year, or to students in the graduate entry prespecialty in nursing program, which is designed for college graduates with non-nursing backgrounds.
- As part of a fundraising campaign, Yale University is matching every endowed gift made to the nursing school. The university's contributions will support the nursing school's general endowment.
