Collection: NEBRASKA SYNOD NURSING SCHOLARSHIPS - TANZANIA

There's a severe shortage of healthcare workers in Tanzania, with just one nurse or midwife for every 2,800 people. There is an effort to tackle this issue by training staff at Machame Hospital near Mount Kilimanjaro and nurses at the School of Nursing. Many students can't afford the $1,700 yearly cost of tuition, room and board for the three-year nursing program. Thankfully, sponsors like First Lutheran and the Nebraska Synod cover these fees, helping students continue their education without financial barriers.
