Torero Tuesday


The First Generation Graduate Student Scholarship supports pioneer scholars who are the first in their families to pursue an advanced practice nursing degree at USD. By providing targeted tuition assistance and academic resources, this initiative helps ambitious post-graduate Torero nurses overcome financial barriers, complete their master's or doctoral degrees, and lead in their fields.

Graduate tuition and living expenses present a steep obstacle for first-gen students navigating higher education without a family blueprint. Gifts directly reduce tuition burdens and student debt, ensuring financial constraints don't cut their studies short. Giving on Torero Tuesday maximizes your impact by unlocking campus match challenges to extend educational equity to more deserving students.

Pave the way for the next generation of leaders. Donate to the First Generation Graduate Student Scholarship this Torero Tuesday and help turn ambitious graduate dreams into life-changing degrees!

Gifts made to the First Generation Graduate Student Scholarship will support our participation in the Nelson-Andrews Challenge, which makes the School of Nursing eligible for $10,000 in bonus funding.
