Goal of $2,025 exceeded early - Let's double it!

October 16, 2025

UPDATE:


We exceeded our $2,025 goal already! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we’ve quickly surpassed our original goal for the Dr. Paulina R. Van Perinatal Nursing Scholarship, and now we plan to keep going! 

Your support is helping us provide even more scholarships for SMU students who are working to become compassionate, skilled healthcare providers. Because of this amazing momentum, we’re extending the fundraiser to raise double our original goal for future healthcare leaders. Every additional gift makes a difference—thank you for helping our students thrive!
