From Gift to Growth: The Impact of Your Support on Oncology Nursing Scholarships
When you donate to the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF), you’re doing more than just funding a scholarship; you remove barriers and power real-world change. Your support gave Karen Wilson the freedom to focus on what truly matters: using her advanced education to save lives. Thanks to her ONF Clinical Doctoral Scholarship, she’s developing a lung cancer screening program for firefighters, one of the most at-risk groups.
"The Oncology Nursing Foundation Academic Scholarship has helped my career and professional goals by allowing me to breathe and not be stressed out about where my tuition money for the next semester will be coming from. I can now focus on my DNP project which is about developing a firefighter lung cancer screening program."

Your Gifts Make an Impact
Karen’s story is one of many. In 2024 alone, donor support made it possible for ONF to fund eight research grants and award more than $620,000 in funding. This research drives breakthroughs in cancer therapies, improves patient outcomes, and ensures nurses are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to lead innovation in cancer care.
The needs of oncology nurses are constantly evolving, and your support helps us keep up the pace.
