The Dane G. Hansen Foundation aspires to enhance the quality of life throughout rural communities in northwest Kansas. The Foundation strongly supports the continuing education of rural community members and awards scholarships to those who are willing to work in the 26-county service area of northwest Kansas upon graduation. Those who receive this scholarship must be currently enrolled in the Cloud nursing program. The scholarship will cover tuition, fees, books, and some miscellaneous expenses.

“We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Dane G. Hansen Foundation,” said Stefanie Perret, MSN, RN, Division Dean. “This investment strengthens our community by supporting exceptional students who are committed to serving rural healthcare needs and building a strong local workforce.”
