The costs of a nursing education extend far beyond tuition and fees. Loans and scholarships only go so far. Students from minority and underrepresented groups often face higher risks of financial and food insecurity, and the College of Nursing family wants to help. Funds raised during the 2019 Give 4 Garnet campaign will go directly toward opening and stocking the Carolina Cares Cupboard.

The Carolina Cares Cupboard is more than a food pantry. Nursing students in need will have access to items such as gas or grocery cards; toiletries; assistance with books, scrubs or other classroom and clinical essentials; vouchers for travel to clinical sites; and temporary computers to borrow when needed, among other things. While the focus of Carolina Cares Cupboard is on underrepresented and minority students, any nursing student in need is able to take advantage of the resources available.

Join us today in making this invaluable resource available to nursing students in need.
