Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing!
Welcome back! I hope your summer was a time of rest and renewal. As we step into a new academic year, I want to begin with a simple yet powerful message: We are all capable of more than we think.
Penn Nursing is proud to announce its second cohort of Conway Scholars. This program was created thanks to a $1 million grant from the Bedford Falls Foundation, which was later doubled to extend the duration of funding and expand the total number of scholars from ten to 15 annually. Established by Philanthropists William (Bill) E. Conway Jr., co-founder and co-chairman of The Carlyle Group, and his late wife, Joanne, the Bedford Falls Foundation is a national leader in supporting nursing. With this commitment, a total of eighty high merit students with financial need will be awarded scholarships.
