Donations and Planned Giving

Invest in the Future of Nursing

Your gift today helps shape and support the nurse leaders of tomorrow

The Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science at the University of San Diego is nationally ranked and recognized as San Diego’s leading graduate nursing school. Your philanthropic support helps advance graduate nursing education, expand student access, and prepare nurse leaders who improve health care outcomes across San Diego, throughout the United States, and around the world.

When you donate to the Hahn School of Nursing, you invest directly in scholarships for graduate nursing students, support for first-generation students, advanced simulation training, and innovative online and HyFlex learning technology. Your gift strengthens programs across the RN to BSN Online, MSN, DNP, and PhD pathways and helps prepare practicing nurses, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse scientists, and health care leaders to meet the evolving needs of the health care workforce.

Gifts to the School of Nursing also sustain our state of the art simulation center, support faculty research that advances nursing science, and expand opportunities for clinical and community partnerships. Every contribution helps reduce financial barriers for students and enhances the quality, safety, and impact of patient care.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to support nursing students, invest in health care leadership, or give to a nationally ranked nursing school in California, your partnership makes a measurable difference.

Together, we are educating the next generation of nurse leaders and advancing the future of health care.
