2026 Badger Nurses

Welcome into Nursing Campaign 2026

Progress

62 Gifts Received$10,805 Raised

As students begin their nursing education, they not only face academic rigor, but also potential financial barriers. From required uniforms and textbooks to essential tools like stethoscopes, professional padfolios, and white coats, the costs of starting the program can quickly add up.

You can help ease this burden for our incoming cohort of future Badger nurses. We seek to raise $15,000 in contributions that will directly support the purchase of required materials and resources, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed from day one.

Gifts of any size make a meaningful impact, helping students focus on their education, build confidence, and feel a true sense of belonging as they enter the profession.

This initiative is more than financial support, it is an opportunity to warmly welcome and invest in the next generation of compassionate, skilled nurses who will serve our communities. You can write a note of encouragement to an incoming nursing student with your donation. These notes will be placed in the pocket of each student’s white coat or padfolio during our welcome ceremony.

All gifts supporting this campaign are directed to the Nursing Student Success and Support Fund.
