Making a gift to Auburn Nursing is ultimately an investment in the future of health care – one that helps you achieve your philanthropic goals while making a difference in the lives of our nursing students who will be future nurses, nurse educators, faculty, nurse practitioners, and nurse scientists.
Regardless of the type or amount of your gift, it demonstrates your belief in the power of and distinction of the Auburn Nursing degree. Together, we can transform lives and society.
By giving to Auburn's College of Nursing, you become a partner in the university’s land-grant mission to make a tangible difference in the education of our students and for generations of healthcare professionals to come.

Scholarship
A gift to the Scholarship Fund is life-changing. It is an investment in a nursing student’s education at Auburn, in their professional career, and in the healthcare teams of the future.

Mary F. Woody Society
Mary F. Woody
Named for nursing school’s first dean, Mary Florence Woody, the society creates a way for donors to honor her legacy and provide vital resources for Auburn nursing.
In 1979, the school was formed when Dean Woody recruited the first class of 27 juniors who were taught by five full-time faculty members.
Her leadership, values, and nursing administration skills led to the school’s full accreditation and the graduation of Auburn’s first nursing students in 1981.
