The Good Samaritan Foundation: Nursing School Scholarship

Good Samaritan Foundation was founded in 1951 by Rev. Clyde Verheyden and six prominent Houstonians, including R.E. Smith. Originally founded under the auspices of the United Methodist Church the organization focused on the problem of providing enough nurses for the newly founded Texas Medical Center and The Methodist Hospital, receiving its tax exempt status in June, 1952. A secondary goal was to either establish or bring a nursing school to Houston.

Adopt a Nurse Program

Good Samaritan has been dedicated to excellence in nursing from education to practice since 1951. In 59 years of service, it has helped educate almost 15,000 Texas nurses.

The Foundation will take major steps to meet the growing financial needs of its scholarship students in 2010 and we need your help. Our Adopt-A-Nurse Program is a great way to get involved today!
