Torero Tuesday


The Graduate Nursing Affordability Initiative provides financial support to USD’s Hahn School of Nursing students impacted by recent federal loan policy changes. By offering direct financial aid and emergency bridge funding, this initiative helps master's and doctoral nursing candidates overcome sudden financial gaps and complete their degrees.

Federal reclassifications now exclude graduate nursing from "professional degree" status, sharply limiting student loan limits. Without bridge support, talented nurses face unexpected tuition deficits that threaten to interrupt their education during a critical nursing shortage. Giving on Torero Tuesday maximizes your impact, keeping advanced nursing degrees accessible and sustaining USD's pipeline of healthcare leaders.

Donate to the Graduate Nursing Affordability Initiative this Torero Tuesday to help bridge the funding gap for our nurses!
