Scholarships for Palliative Care Education

To celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care month, the California State University Institute for Palliative Care is pleased to announce that $25,000 in scholarships for palliative care education are being made available to Southern California nurses, social workers, and chaplains. These full scholarships are funded by Donald and Darlene Marcos Shiley Scholarships to support palliative care teams to better serve the communities of San Diego, Southern Orange, and Southern Riverside counties.

To be eligible for scholarship funding, the Institute invites healthcare professionals to submit an essay describing why they need this education and how they will use it to improve the care delivered to the people they serve. Applications are due by November 30, 2015.
