This Giving Tuesday, help shape the future of nursing!
Nurses are the heart of health care—providing comfort, expertise, and guidance through every stage of life. As demand for nurses continues to grow, supporting nursing education and research has never been more vital.

At Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston, we prepare students to meet the challenges of modern health care while advancing the science that saves lives. Your generosity ensures that future nurses are ready to deliver high-quality, compassionate care across Texas and beyond. Every gift this Giving Tuesday combines with others to make an enduring difference our students, patients, and communities.
Our Top Priorities
Cares Corner at Cizik School of Nursing
Many nursing students balance demanding coursework and clinical rotations while facing food insecurity. Cares Corner, our free student pantry at Cizik School of Nursing, provides meals and essentials so students can focus on becoming outstanding nurses. Your gift in support of Cares Corner helps stock pantry shelves with items like canned goods, snacks, and personal care products. By standing with these students, you ensure they can one day stand by patients in times of need.
Cizik School of Nursing Student Assistance Fund
When you give to the Student Assistance Fund at Cizik School of Nursing, you make it possible for aspiring nurses—whether they are pursuing entry-level or advanced practice degrees—to stay in school and focus on learning rather than financial worries. Your contribution helps alleviate a nationwide nursing shortage while supporting the next generation of caregivers who will fill these much-needed roles.
Cizik School of Nursing Dean’s Excellence Fund
This fund provides flexible support to strengthen every aspect of nursing education, research, and practice. By contributing to the Dean’s Excellence Fund at Cizik School of Nursing, you help award scholarships, foster faculty growth, and accelerate innovative research that improves health outcomes. Your gift ensures Cizik School of Nursing remains a leader in health care education and discovery.
