The Brandywine Health Foundation seeks to address the critical shortage of nurses by encouraging Chester County residents to enter the field of nursing by providing scholarship funds, and recognizing those students who excel academically.

To that end, eleven nursing awards and scholarship funds benefiting nursing students studying at West Chester University and Immaculata University and the CAT-Brandywine Practical Nursing Program are available.
