University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing - LHAS Endowed Fund for Student Resources

2008 Recipient - Melinda Gallagher

In 2001, Ladies Hospital Aid Society awarded a $15,000 endowment to the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing for the Ladies Hospital Aid Society Student Resource Fund.

The endowment provides financial assistance for junior nursing students at Pitt who are pursuing a career dealing with women's health care issues.

"This scholarship will help the School of Nursing to prepare a new generation of nurses to meet the health care needs of many more women,: Jacqueline Dunbar-Jacob, dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, said in a prepared statement.

The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing prepares students for diverse career options and leadership roles in the rapidly evolving health care industry. Likewise, the LHAS supports people needing health care and related services while sponsoring programs to assist young people interested in pursuing careers in health care.
