MPSON Supports NEF
The Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing (MSPSON) has been a consistent supporter of NEF and, in 2026, it was the $10,000 Sapphire Sponsor of the organization’s annual gala reception. Committed to innovation, academic excellence, and student access, MSPSON recently celebrated its 120th anniversary, continuing to offer nursing students access to its health system of seven hospitals and over 400 ambulatory practices in greater New York.
Dean Kimberly Glassman, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAONL, FAAN, and NEF Board Member, shared why it is important for nursing schools, and MSPSON in particular, to support NEF’s scholarships for graduate nursing education:
“The mission of the Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing is to provide an exceptional nursing education to a diverse student body in an inclusive, equitable environment that will advance the delivery of outstanding health care to local and global communities. Along with fellow leading institutions of nursing education, we are proud to sponsor NEF’s scholarships, allowing more students to have the financial support to continue their education to reach their professional goals.”
