Palliative Care Education Scholarships for San Diego County Healthcare Professionals
Scholarships Celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care Month
To celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care month in November, each year the California State University Shiley Institute for Palliative Care awards $25,000 in scholarships for palliative care education to Southern California nurses, social workers, and chaplains.
The application process opens in October. Check back for details!
These full scholarships are funded by Donald and Darlene Marcos Shiley Scholarships to provide palliative care training that can enhance care and improve quality of life for vulnerable patients and families in the San Diego region.
Why Darlene Shiley makes these scholarships possible? In her own words:
“I have experienced the power of palliative care to ease the suffering for someone that I love. It eased a difficult and challenging journey for my late husband Donald – and for me. It made me realize how specialized and important the field of palliative care is, and the growing need for such care in the future.”
