The gift also supports expanded promotion of UMSON’s Teaching in Nursing and Health Professions Certificate, a program critical to preparing and increasing the number of nurse faculty statewide. The gift also supports the creation of a full-time faculty position dedicated to preparing entry-into-nursing students for the Next Gen NCLEX, the newest version of the National Council Licensure Examination, which is designed to assess clinical judgment in nursing licensure candidates, measuring future nurses’ ability to think critically about how to care for patients. By 2027, more than 1,000 students are expected to have been designated Conway Scholars. To date, UMSON has awarded Conway Scholarships to 468 students, 354 of whom have graduated. The latest gift, the fifth from the Conways since 2015, brings the total amount the Conways have contributed to $36.24 million. These 218 scholarships, which will be awarded from spring 2024 through fall 2027, will cover 50 to 100 percent of students’ tuition, fees, and books. The $7 million gift will fund 116 Bachelor of Science in Nursing scholarships, 42 Master of Science in Nursing Entry-into-Nursing program scholarships, and 60 scholarships for the Teaching in Nursing and Health Professions Certificate.
