Edith Cavell Nursing Scholarship Fund
The Edith Cavell Nursing Scholarship Fund was established in 1954. The Edith Cavell Nursing Scholarship Fund is co-sponsored by the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance Foundation which was organized in 1917 and is the oldest operating alliance in the nation. Its members consist of more than 210 physicians and spouses whose goals are to support medicine, promote health education through community programming and provide enrichment and educational opportunities for its members and healthcare students.
The DCMSAF members and Edith Cavell Board of Trustees provide mentorship and career networking opportunities for the chosen Edith Cavell scholars.
