Nursing Scholarship
The Morning Pointe Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Morning Pointe Senior Living. The 501(c)(3) non-profit organization provides scholarship opportunities, forms community partnerships and supports caregivers in its mission to advance the care of seniors throughout the Southeast. The Foundation has provided more than 146 scholarships since its founding in 2014.
“Partners like TCAT are critical to the success of the Morning Pointe Foundation as we strive to provide financial support for students pursuing careers related to senior care,” said Miranda Perez, executive director of the Morning Pointe Foundation. “We are so excited to be able to support their students.”
The Foundation is bestowing $1,500 per year for nursing students (LPNs) for the next three years. TCAT Knoxville will select the recipients.
“The Morning Pointe Foundation scholarship for TCAT Knoxville’s practical nursing program is a beacon of opportunity for aspiring nurses,” said Kelli Chaney, president of TCAT Knoxville. “By alleviating financial barriers, it empowers students to focus on their education and join the healthcare workforce with confidence and skill. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of compassionate caregivers.”
