The Alumni Scholarships program provides merit-based support for some of the nation’s brightest professional minds, attracting top students to our campuses, and strengthening the University’s world-class reputation. When you select Alumni Scholarships as your next gift, you join an elite group of philanthropists who believe in providing students with the opportunity to focus on what's really important at the University of Southern Nevada: life-long learning. University Fund Every year, many alumni, parents, friends and students give generously to the University. Their support helps to enhance student scholarship assistance, attract and retain world-class faculty, and create new and innovative programs. Donors to the University Fund connect with their passions through their generous gifts to meet the priorities of the University. From students making their first gifts through a Senior Class Gift, to loyal friends who have supported the University for years, donors know USN is one of the best investments they can make in higher education. The University Fund's family of donors mirrors USN’s diversity and strength, educating and developing tomorrow's health care leaders. College of Pharmacy It is a rare student who has graduated from the College of Pharmacy without the benefit of financial assistance. Through the years, generous donors have provided needed scholarship support providing countless educational opportunities for students. Empowered by their College of Pharmacy education, our students have been able to create careers, achieve personal goals, and ease human suffering in ways that might never have been possible without the support of generous donors. College of Nursing The USN College of Nursing accepts students of exceptional talent and dedication who will become the next generation of leading caregivers, researchers and faculty. Nursing classes begin at two different times each year both at Nevada and Utah campuses. Perhaps you would want to create an Endowed Scholarship for nursing to help fill the need for more nursing professionals in our country. College of Dental Medicine The USN College of Dental Medicine offers a residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics/MBA and requires that each of our dental residents obtain an MBA degree in addition to their advanced dental certificate to ensure that when they graduate, they will have all of the tools to operate an effective practice. Many donors may select to establish an Endowed Scholarship to make this possible and to provide for future dental professionals in our communities in Nevada, Utah and surrounding regions. Our University is the only one in our country requiring an MBA degree along with the advanced dental certificate. MBA Program The University also supports an outstanding MBA program which has been paired with each of our other programs to ensure future success for all of our graduates. Endowed Scholarships for this program will help to give business promise for the future of all fortunate USN graduates. If you would like to make a difference in the stability of medical care for the future, what better way than to help medical professionals know how to run a business as well. USN Friends of the Library The USN Library enriches every facet of the university, from the specialized education by our top-ranked faculty to the state-of-the-art facilities. USN faculty and students rely on complete and in-depth library resources, including historic manuscripts, newly published books, electronic journals and databases. The Library offers a number of unique giving opportunities. Gifts to the USN Friends of the Library support the most critical needs of the Library, from acquisitions and preservation to digital library projects.The Honor with Books program is a meaningful way to pay tribute to a special person in your life while making an important contribution to future generations of students. When you make a gift to the Honor with Books fund, a personalized bookplate is placed in one newly purchased book in the subject area of your choosing. Library supporters can build a permanent legacy by establishing a Collection Endowment. These funds make it possible to acquire, preserve and make accessible Library materials in subject areas of special interest to the donor. Endowments may be established with a single gift or with a pledge that will build the fund over several years. Because the endowment generates sustained income each year, it guarantees the growth of collections and constitutes one of the best investments one can make in higher education. Gifts to the USN Friends of the Library ensure a comprehensive resource for current and future generations. Contact Alumni Relations University of Southern Nevada Phone: (702) 968-2055 | |||
