"Nursing lies at the very heart of humankind’s commitment to caring for one another.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Although nominal by US standards, the cost for nursing education is varied from country to country. The Gretta Foundation funds nursing scholarships in both rural, and urban, public, and private, nursing education institutions.

The typical cost to provide a full nursing scholarship for Scholars enrolled in government-sponsored or privately funded schools is approximately $1500 – $3800 per scholar, per year.

Each scholarship will provide its recipient with everything they need, including annual tuition, room and board, living allowance, books, school uniforms, shoes, and clinical supplies such as stethoscopes and blood pressure readers.

Africa has 24% of the global disease burden,
with only 3% of the global healthcare workforce,
while spending less than 1% of world health expenditure.
