College of Nursing Projects

Roderick & Barbara Barr Scholarship Fund: The Roderick & Barbara Barr Scholarship Fund at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing was established in 2001 to benefit full-time masters-level students in nurse practitioner programs. The family’s personal experiences prompted them to establish this scholarship. They were moved by the excellent care provided by a nurse practitioner for a close relative who suffered from a terminal illness. They wish to promote nurses in advanced practice by supporting the College of Nursing at UC. It is the family’s hope that they can ease the burden of excellent students by providing significant financial support in the form of partial or full tuition.

Clinical Education & Equipment Fund: This fund provides much needed, up-to-date equipment and supplies for the student skills laboratory. Through the skills lab, students learn and practice current techniques in a simulated clinical setting. This lab has become an essential aspect of ongoing clinical experience.

Dean's Discretionary Fund: This fund allows the Dean to allocate dollars for emergency purposes at her discretion. Contributions may be used for emergency student aid, special faculty requests or other unbudgeted items.
