March 04, 2024
Avant Healthcare Professionals, the premier staffing provider of internationally experienced nursing and allied health professionals, has launched the “Dream. Become. Inspire. Scholarship: Philippines,” the latest addition to its Global Impact platform. The new scholarship – which was announced during the Philippine Nurses Association of America event in Iloilo City, Philippines by Avant Healthcare Professionals Senior Vice President of Operations, Lesley Hamilton-Powers – is designed to support BSN nursing students who may be facing financial challenges in completing the crucial last year of their programs.
At the heart of this scholarship is the desire to remove financial barriers and enable exceptional future healthcare professionals to thrive. Alongside tuition coverage, it includes a stipend for living expenses and accommodations. Beyond the scholarship itself, recipients become active participants in Avant Healthcare Professionals’ community-based initiatives in the Philippines, which allow them to hone their leadership skills and make a positive impact in underserved, rural communities.
“Nursing is such an honorable profession. They care for people in their most vulnerable moments and have a tremendous impact on their patients, their families and the community,” said Avant Healthcare Professionals Director of Global Recruitment Christina Khan. “We are thrilled to empower students to achieve their dreams of becoming nurses through the ‘Dream. Become. Inspire. Scholarship’ program.”
Filipino nursing students in the final year of their programs are invited to apply at welcome.avanthealthcare.com/phil-scholarship.
Since 2003, Avant has pioneered new ways to effectively support and transition internationally educated nurses to work in the United States, enabling them to help address the rising nursing shortage, while fulfilling their American dreams.
The Global Impact platform directly correlates with Avant Healthcare Professionals’ mission to change lives for the better and underscores its commitment to improving access to education and healthcare around the world, with a focus on the home communities and countries of their internationally experienced healthcare professionals.
