Helping Nursing Students Through the Tough Times

Flo’s Cookie Jar provides one-time emergency grants-in-aid to California prelicensure nursing students who face financial crises that may cause them to drop out of school. The grant program is named after Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, who pioneered evidence-based improvements to provide safer nursing care, particularly advocating for the maintenance of sanitary conditions and the practice of hand hygiene during patient care.

A grant from Flo’s Cookie Jar is something that can help a student continue their education, and is something that they will remember forever.

Our goal is to support all who are in need.

Developed by a group of experienced nurse leaders and educators, Flo's Cookie Jar provides up to $2,000 for:

1. Personal and educational emergencies that would cause the student to leave school.

2. Professional supplies, such as uniforms and equipment, that exceed the first-semester student's ability to pay.
