About Torero Tuesday


Support First Generation School of Nursing Scholarships on Torero Tuesday!

First Generation students are the first of their family to attend and graduate from a four-year university. USD is committed to fostering an inclusive culture and learning environment where students feel welcome and encouraged to succeed with a full sense of belonging.

The university's success relies on vital discourse and open exchange of ideas and relevance through lived experience. By interweaving these values into USD's mission, the school of nursing aims to educate, train and prepare future nurses who can diligently treat and care for individuals regardless of background, culture, and means.

Your dedication to the Hahn School of Nursing's efforts to make a nursing education accessible to all helps to enrich the environment for all students, including those who are the first in their families to pursue a graduate education.

Gifts made to this cause help the Hahn School of Nursing participate in the Nelson-Andrews Challenge, which makes the School of Nursing eligible for $10,000 in bonus funding. When the School of Nursing is one of the first 4 academic units to raise $5,000 in support of first generation graduate school scholarships, these bonus funds will be awarded!
