Watson Caring Science Institute announces two scholarship opportunities

April 2019

Boulder, CO – Watson Caring Science Institute (WCSI) Board of Directors announced two separate Scholarships will be offered annually to selected applicants: The John Matthew Kertland V Scholarship – for applicants accepted in the Caritas Coach Educational Program®; and The Watson Caring Science Scholarship – a general fund.

The Scholarships have been created to remove financial barriers and to encourage advancement of Caring Science. The Scholarships symbolize WCSI Founder and Director Jean Watson’s lifelong commitment to Caring Science education and the promotion of the understanding of caring for self/others and the planet.

The John Matthew Kertland V Scholarship was created in memory of John Matthew Kertland V, whose loving wife Grissel Hernandez, a Caring Science Scholar, Caritas Coach®, and faculty of WCSI helped to establish this fund. The purpose of this Scholarship is to financially support applicants for The WCSI Caritas Coach Education Program.

The Watson Caring Science Scholarship was established to enable selected applicants to deepen their understanding of Caring Science and contribute to the Legacy of scholarly and/or participatory activities based on Watson’s theory of Caring Science. The purpose of this Scholarship is to financially support applicants in participating in a Watson Caring Science sponsored or endorsed program, conference or event.

The Scholarships of up to $1,000 per individual are funded by generous gifts from individuals, WCSI general funds, and a percentage of our Caring Store sales. Please consider donating to help expand the field of Caring Science. All donations are tax deductible.
