Student Support

The John A. Hartford Foundation has created a strong tradition of building academic geriatric nursing capacity through mentorship. This helps prepare the next generations of gerontological nursing leaders. Here at the OHSU School of Nursing’s Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence faculty continue that tradition; through mentoring faculty commit to providing a firm foundation for academic careers.

Our faculty work closely with PhD students, advance practice nursing students and undergraduate students and, together, they contribute substantively to the knowledge base related to care for older adults.

 

Scholarship

The Hartford Center offers a variety of funding options to support nursing curriculum study. Candidates for these awards must demonstrate scholarly promise as well as a commitment to careers in nursing education, practice, and research that will benefit older adults.

We have created a gerontological nursing honors track in our undergraduate program and have secured funding from The Hearst Foundations, supplemented by discretionary funds from the Oregon Community Foundation and designated to the HCGNE by OHSU President Robertson, to provide tuition support for students. The students admitted to the Honors Program in Gerontological Nursing will delve deeply into course material to develop gerontological nursing skills and knowledge, working with a gerontological nursing faculty mentor who will guide student learning and discovery.
