The Hospital Auxiliary (HHHA), a nonprofit dedicated to assisting those in need in Hilton Head, Bluffton and the surrounding areas, has been awarded a $30,000 grant from Power:Ed, a philanthropy of SC Student LoanCorporation.
This gift marks the second round of funding from Power:Ed and will support 10 nursing scholarships at USCB and TCL for the 2023 school year to help create a local talent pipeline to address the healthcare workforce shortage.
In the first two quarters of FY2022-23, Power:Ed awarded 12 grants to South Carolina education and career readiness nonprofits, including HHHA, totaling over $450,000. Grants are administered quarterly, and the next grant funding deadline is January 1, 2023.
