Our students' determination, our inspiration

Our mission at Labouré College is to provide a diverse group of students with the opportunity to reach their dreams of becoming nurses and healthcare professionals. The Labouré student is not a traditional college student. Many are raising families, working, or caring for elderly parents. What they all share is a passion to care for others.

The impact?
Each year, Labouré loses students
because of unmet financial needs.

We believe that our students are worth every penny.
They have what cannot be taught: compassion and a true calling to care for others.

Shanelle Peoples

Nursing Student

Expected grad date August 2018

“A scholarship would assist in funding a future where I am able to give back to my local community. There is a tremendous need for compassionate individuals in the smaller Boston area neighborhoods and I plan to personally dedicate my time and effort to creating a more positive healthcare experience for the people in my community."

Danielle Ambrose

Nursing, Winner of the Raymond Sullivan Memorial Scholarship

Graduated December 2017

“I work two jobs just to have the chance to live my dream… nursing is my passion and it is what I’m born to do. No matter what obstacles come my way, I try to stay positive and keep on going.”

Orla McDonagh

Nursing, Winner of the Catholic
Health Foundation Scholarship

Expected grad date April 2019

“I will be paying for college on my own without help from my parents. This is not to say that they don’t help in other ways. They are my emotional support and that’s something that means more to me than any amount of money.”

Lucia Oviedo

Nursing, Winner of the John A. McNeice Scholarship

Expected grad date April 2018

“Being a nurse…is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in the health of ordinary people… a nurse never runs from a person in need.”

Your support also changes the community's life

Despite the best efforts of medical professionals and educators to increase the workforce over the past few years, shortages are projected in every healthcare profession.

"Training new physicians, nurses, and other health professionals takes years, sometimes decades. Without more graduates from nursing and medical schools and increased innovation in shared roles and responsibilities among doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, individuals and families will face longer wait times, greater difficulty accessing providers, shortened time with providers, increased costs, and new frustrations with care delivery."

—Amy Anderson, DNP, RN, CNE, is a Graduate Health Policy Fellow in the Center for Health Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation and an Assistant Professor of Nursing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
