St. Philip School of Nursing Alumnae Scholarship

In 1920, the St. Philip School of Nursing opened to prepare and educate African American nurses in Richmond, Virginia. The school closed in 1962 and classes were integrated into the School of Nursing of the Medical College of Virginia. During its tenure 791 women graduated from St. Philip.

The St. Philip School of Nursing Alumnae Scholarship was created in 1990 to memorialize the St. Philip School and its graduates. This endowment serves as a continuing reminder of the ideals and achievement of this wonderful School.
