Program overview
The Deloras Jones Scholarship recognizes outstanding academic achievement and promotes diversity among ADN, BSN, MSN, and doctoral students.
The scholarship was established in 2000 following the retirement of Deloras Jones, who spent her more than 35-year career at Kaiser Permanente, starting as a student at the Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing in the 1960s and retiring as Senior Nurse Executive for Northern and Southern California. The fund acknowledges the commitment and contributions Jones made to nursing education and excellence in nursing practice. Since the scholarship’s inception, over $5.5 million has been given to more than 3,000 nursing students in Northern California.
Scholarship awardees are honored at a virtual reception held in December. The event is a reminder of Kaiser Permanente’s commitment and connection to the community and the future of nursing.
