Health Care & Education

Education and providing scholarships, especially nursing scholarships, are areas of primary focus for the Musgrave Foundation.

The President of Cox College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Anne Liners Brett Ph.D., RN, writes:

"Year after year the Musgrave Foundation provides thousands of dollars worth of scholarships to dozens of our students. These are students who are now able to fulfill their dreams of becoming conscientious, caring members of the healthcare community."

"Our College is also better able to court the best and the brightest in the region because of the financial help from the Musgrave Foundation. Jeanette Musgrave's philosophy of a "hand up not a hand out" has certainly changed the lives of hundreds of caregivers and patients alike in our community. For that, we are forever grateful."

My Story

I made the decision to enter school to pursue my dream of becoming a dental hygienist after being out of school for 26 years. This has been an amazing adventure! It was made easier with your help. The dental hygiene program at OTC is very demanding and rewarding.

I was awarded a scholarship that has provided the means to buy textbooks I need (they are so expensive!). This award has meant more than just financial assistance to me. Knowing there are other people who believe enough in me to grant me a scholarship has given me much needed support and encouragement to reach for my dream.

Thank you so much for everything!
