Providence Scholars An exclusive partnership between Providence Health & Services and University of Portland, the Providence Scholars Program provides select nursing students with two years of tuition in exchange for a three-year employment agreement. For 23 years and counting, more than 800 students have taken advantage of this incredible opportunity to save on tuition and join the largest health care network in the Pacific Northwest. As a Providence Scholar, I was able to pursue my nursing education with the support of an organization I deeply admired. The program provided opportunities, mentor- ship, and professional connections that helped launch my career and continue to influence my growth as a healthcare leader today.” Kate Hamburg, BSN, RN, ’21 Assistant Nurse Manager - Emergency Services, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center
