Leaving a lasting legacy.

Has the College of Nursing impacted your life? Learn how to turn that impact into a legacy.

Give to an Existing Fund

The UNM College of Nursing relies on private support from alumni, parents, friends, grateful patients, corporations, foundations, and the community. Your donations help support student scholarships, staff and faculty efforts, research and program support. Giving to an existing fund helps us bridge the gap between what tuition provides and the total operating budget.
