Nursing Scholarships

     According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) the doctor to patient ratio in Liberia is 1:30,000. This means that most of the patient care in that country relies on nurses.

     Liberia also lacks basic public healthcare services in the rural areas. Rural resident have to travel long distances to cities for their healthcare needs. This increases their healthcare costs. For poor families, this means that access to healthcare is limited and some people die from treatable diseases like cholera.

     Sua Foundation believes that education is a self-advancement medium that offers citizens opportunities to improve their self esteem and prepare them for employment. Thus, educated citizens are assets to their country and communities. Against this background, the Foundation established a two-tiered scholarship programs for high school and undergraduate scholars. 

     The Lenselink Family Scholarships support undergraduate students in the specific areas of health sciences - medicine and nursing. Since it’s launching, four nurses have obtained BsN degrees and are serving at a hospital in their community. Another two nursing students are still enrolled. 

     There are four students in the undergraduate program who wish to become medical doctors. Photos of some students are below.

     The Sua Foundation has additional candidates for the program and are seeking sponsors for these students.  If you have the means and desire please contact us at your earliest convenience so we may start these students on the path to graduation and service to their communities.
