The School of Nursing
 
 

Giving

The four main opportunities to give to the School are through:

Scholarship Support

The Dr. Joy Penticuff, RN Endowed Scholarship in Nursing

The Dr. Joy Penticuff, RN Endowed Scholarship in Nursing was created to honor Joy H. Penticuff, PhD, RN, FAAN, and the many contributions she has made to The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing over the past 33 years. A member of the UT Academy of Distinguished Teachers, Dr. Penticuff has spent her career teaching undergraduate and graduate bioethics and research. She will be retiring in May 2008, and the school will greatly miss her leadership, mentorship and friendship.

Reflecting her commitment to her students, the Dr. Joy Penticuff, RN Endowed Scholarship in Nursing will benefit undergraduate students with financial need.

To make a contribution online, please visit Support UT School of Nursing web site, and be sure to indicate that your gift should be credited to the Dr. Joy Penticuff, RN Endowed Scholarship.

Every individual who makes a gift to The University of Texas at Austin plays an important role in making it one of the best public universities in the world. The generosity of all donors, no matter the size of their gifts, sustains a tradition of excellence at UT that benefits all Texans.
