Ruskin Scholarship: Orlando Scholarship for Health Professionals

Cynthia M. Orlando Scholarship for Health Professionals

Support students at Gannon’s Ruskin campus through the first endowed Ruskin scholarship dedicated to health professionals.

Established by Dr. Richard Orlando ’76 in honor of his wife, Cindy, this scholarship celebrates her legacy as a compassionate, highly skilled nurse who spent years caring for patients and training families to provide life-saving care at home. Her empathy, expertise, and commitment to others continue to inspire future health professionals.

This scholarship was created to ease the financial burden for students pursuing health sciences degrees, allowing them to focus on their education, clinical experiences, and calling to care for others. It ensures more students have access to the opportunities and support they need to succeed and serve with confidence.

Your gift helps:

• Provide financial support to students pursuing health sciences degrees
• Expand access to hands-on clinical and learning experiences
• Prepare the next generation of compassionate, highly skilled caregivers

Make your impact today and help future health care leaders thrive.
