Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my support important?
The college’s annual budget is funded by three sources: the government, student tuition, and private support. With government funding subject to the cyclical ups and downs of the economy and the changing pgrowth in educational leadership and excellence. In fact, it is the generosity of alumni and friends who make us one of the finest colleges of nursing in the country.

Your support enables us to attract and retain the highest caliber of faculty, students and programming through student scholarships, resources for bringing cutting edge advances in clinical training and technology into the classroom, and special initiatives that expose our students and faculty to the field’s leading scholars. Help us to continue providing the quality of education expected of an internationally recognized institution serving the best and brightest minds of the state of Illinois.

Why is unrestricted giving important?
An unrestricted gift is simply a gift with no restrictions from the donor on how it is to be used. Such gifts support the college by allowing the Dean flexibility in determining how best to use the funding where it can have the greatest impact, address priorities, and bring immediate benefits to the college as a whole by supporting:

  • faculty and curricular development
  • faculty recruitment
  • student scholarships
  • program initiatives
  • classrooms and facilities
