Nursing Scholarship

Planting Seeds in the Future of Healthcare

The care Piper and her family received during her time at Arkansas Children’s Hospital left a lasting impact on those who loved her.

In Piper’s memory, Piper’s Purpose Foundation provides scholarships to students pursuing careers in nursing.

Supporting one nursing student reaches far beyond one scholarship.

A nurse may care for thousands of patients throughout a career. They will comfort families during frightening moments, celebrate victories, provide compassionate care on difficult days and leave an impact on people they may never realize they touched.

When Piper’s Purpose helps a future nurse take another step toward that calling, we are planting another Piper seed.

We may never see all the fruit that grows from it, but we know the impact can continue for years to come
