Our mission.
IFRN creates environments that support economic empowerment for women of color from historically excluded communities through a pathway to nursing. We work toward removing practical barriers, connecting people with resources, and using community support responsibly.
Our vision.
We envision a Georgia where future nurses can access the resources, encouragement, and relationships they need to stay on the path to RN—and where nursing schools, healthcare organizations, and communities work together around that goal.
Our current commitment.
Our clearest current program is care-package support for nursing students. This resource hub adds free educational planning tools and a directory of independent official opportunities.
Scholarships and expanded services will be announced only when funding, criteria, dates, and delivery capacity are ready. The Pathway to Empowerment Scholarship is not accepting applications through this website.
The values behind the work.
Dignity means students keep ownership of their stories. Practical care means listening before choosing what to give. Accountability means separating goals from delivered results. Community means many people can bring something useful. Persistence means helping the next step feel possible.
