Give to UIC Nursing

Your generosity is transforming lives at the UIC College of Nursing.

UIC is the top Illinois university for value and upward mobility. We are broadening access to education and paving the way for inclusive, compassionate care for all.  Your support allows us to find ways to enrich the communities we serve while expanding access to research, academic and clinical excellence. Gifts can be directed to any area most meaningful to you, including scholarships, faculty, academic departments, research, and classroom and lab support, which are among the many priorities available.

To discuss endowment opportunities, please contact Jill Corr, senior director of development. An endowment provides a gift with both immediate and long‑term benefits.
