Valley Foundation Grants

---

 

The Valley Foundation grant is a five year investment in the School of Nursing’s student enrollment.  The grant allows for an additional twenty-two baccalaureate students to be enrolled the School for five sequential semesters.  The goal of the grant is to provide 100 additional graduates to enter the healthcare workforce within our community of Santa Clara county healthcare facilities by the year 2010.  Currently, the San Jose State University School of Nursing provides the majority of baccalaureate educated nurses to the South Bay area healthcare facilities.  In addition to increased enrollment, the grant is also funding the additional faculty and staff support needed for the additional students.  The Foundation’s support has been so helpful in ensuring the quality of education and service we strive to provide for all of our nursing students.  The entire faculty and staff of the School of Nursing are so pleased to be offered the opportunity to provide relief to the current local nursing shortage and appreciate the efforts of The Valley Foundation to make this possible.  We look forward to a strong future of continued growth and success.
