scholarship investments: support-a-studentThank you in advance for participating in tonight’s Support-a-Student pledge opportunity. All gifts made

tonight will provide additional scholarship support to qualified MGH Institute students enrolled in one of

our programs in nursing, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, or medical imaging.

Student Facts:

• MGH Institute programs are in high demand,

and very competitive. Only 40% of applicants are

offered admission.

• A health sciences education is an expensive

investment; nearly 75% of the MGH Institute’s

1,000 students receive some financial aid.

• Tuition and fees to complete the 14-month,

Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree

is $44,125; while the three-year nurse practitioner

program and three-year Doctor of Physical Therapy

degree exceeds $90,000.

• At current funding levels, scholarship awards

cover an average of 35% of the total cost to

complete one of our two- or three-year degrees.

And this year, the Institute granted its first full

scholarships covering 100% of tuition.

We must do more to keep these programs

accessible to bright, talented young men and

women. Here’s a sample of how your pledge can

help defray the cost of a student’s education:

• $2,500 provides scholarship assistance equal to a

two-credit course, such as Ethical Issues in Health

Care or Neuromotor Speech Disorders.

• $1,000 can help students afford a top-quality

education, learning from distinguished and award-

winning faculty, including a Fulbright Scholar.

• $500 can help students cover direct expenses

like their lab fees for Gross Anatomy in their

first semester.

• $250makes it easier for students to afford

everyday educational expenses such as textbooks,

lab coats, or scrubs.

• $100 can support students as they experience a

range of valuable clinical placements in schools

and hospital or community settings.

Scholarship aid provided by the Institute (2010-2011) $2.3 million

Total value of federal loans administered by the Institute $22 million

Percent of students receiving institutional scholarships/grants 24%

Average scholarship award (two years of study) $42,333

Percentage of students who receive student loans 73%

Average indebtedness at graduation $65,748

Average tuition and fees of entry-level programs:

Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing $44,125

Master of Science in Nursing $96,300

Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology $70,024

Doctor of Physical Therapy $103,565

david laliberteSpeaker

The closest David LaLiberte ever got to an oven while growing up was when he

would watch his mother and four sisters bake in their kitchen.

Today, he’s making his family proud as the owner of Treat Cupcake Bar, Needham’s

first cupcake boutique and the nation’s first interactive cupcake bakery.

Before opening Treat, LaLiberte had great success in Boston’s investment scene.

Starting fresh out of college as a lunch orderer at Fidelity Investments, he steadily

rose through the company’s ranks while spending his evenings getting his MBA at

Boston College.

Within ten years, he became head trader for the Magellan Fund. In 1996, he

joined Vinik Asset Management as their head of equity trading. He spent nine years

there before retiring in 2005 to spend more time with his wife, two daughters, and

numerous pets.

Looking for a way in which to channel his creativity, he began to develop a retail

concept around the growing popularity of specialty cupcakes. Treat Cupcake Bar

opened last June, and it has been a hit for both kids and adults who can choose

between several flavors and frosting, and 20 toppings, to create their own

specialized dessert.

He also wanted to give something back to his community, so he developed a pro-

gram called “Treat Others Well.” Each month, a special cupcake is created in which

50% of the proceeds goes to a charitable organization.

Although Laliberte has yet to master actually creating baked goods, he continues to

work in close partnership with design and business consultants, his core manage-

ment team, and the talented bakers to ensure the highest quality product.

In addition to the funds raised through tonight’s

Scholarship Gala, the MGH Institute has received

$413,000 in new commitments since last year’s Gala

that will further enhance our scholarship resources:

LUCY A. BURR SCHOLARSHIP$150,000

Established in 2006 with a gift from Mrs. Francis

(Hooks) Burr, this endowed fund supports students

demonstrating financial need with preference for

students in the School of Nursing. Mrs. Burr pledged

an additional gift this year to increase scholarships

for the Accelerated BSN and Direct-Entry nursing

programs. Mrs. Burr has been an advocate for quality

patient care for nearly three decades and a member

of the Massachusetts General Hospital Ladies

Visiting Committee since 1979.

MGH NURSES’ ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

$143,000

The Massachusetts General Hospital Nurses’

Alumnae Association represents the alumnae of Mass

General’s original School of Nursing (1873–1981).

The MGH NAA has supported a number of nursing-

related activities at the Institute over the years,

including the funding of several annual student

scholarships. In 2010 the association established

a permanent endowment fund to guarantee scholar-

ship support for nursing students in perpetuity.

ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION$80,000

The MGH Institute was one of 63 nursing schools

nationwide to receive funding under the Robert

Wood Johnson Foundation’s New Careers in Nursing

Scholarship Program, which was launched in 2008 to

address the national nursing shortage and fuel the

pipeline of diverse nurse faculty. Eight MGH Institute

nursing students from underrepresented groups or

disadvantaged backgrounds will receive grants of

$10,000 each.

JAMES C. MELVIN SCHOLARSHIP$25,000

The James C. Melvin Trust’s support of student

scholarships at the MGH Institute dates back to

1988. Over the years the Melvin Trust has awarded

more than $1.4 million to Institute students, and

provided essential seed money to pilot a need-based

financial aid program at the Institute.

VIRGINIA DELAWARE ZAHKA

NURSING SCHOLARSHIP

$15,000

Sumner and Emeline Brown, SON ’59, established

the Zahka scholarship in 1991 in memory of Mrs.

Brown’s mother. Mrs. Brown, who passed away in

2006, was a graduate of the MGH Institute’s prede-

cessor, the MGH School of Nursing, and worked as a

nurse at Mass General for many years. Mr. Brown

continues to be a close friend of the MGH Institute.

anne gatelyPutnam Family Scholar

Working with underprivileged families is the driving force behind Anne Gately’s goal

to become a nurse practitioner.

For the second-year student in the Master of Science in Nursing program, it’s the

continuation of her mission of service that has included volunteering as an under-

graduate at the University of Vermont, and a post-graduate stint with AmeriCorps.

She found helping the poor while working at a non-profit organization to be

challenging and empowering. But she soon realized she wanted to make a more

direct impact in the lives of people.

“I saw the critical role health care plays in strengthening a community, and I realized

people need a good foundation of health or they will never be able to break the cycle

of poverty,” says Gately, a 2010 Putnam Family Scholar.

Upon graduating from the School of Nursing, she wants to help families understand

how their medical history, lifestyle, and other risk factors can converge and educate

them on how to make healthier choices.

“So many of our community’s most vulnerable are not getting enough accurate

information to improve their lives,” she says. “Without proper primary care, they

will remain at a disadvantage.”

George and Nancy Putnam

PRESENT ING SPONSOR

matt natansonPutnam Family Scholar

It took Matt Natanson three years while working full time to complete the ten

science prerequisite courses he needed to apply to a physical therapy program.

It was worth the wait.

“It’s been great, especially this past summer when I was working in a clinic for the

first time,” says the second-year student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program.

“I got to see all the little things that don’t always get translated in the classroom.”

Like many students who attend the MGH Institute, he did not follow a straight line

to his new career choice. The Sudbury native originally considered medicine upon

entering the University of Rochester. At 17, however, he was not prepared to commit

to more than 10 years of education, and switched to a dual major in English and

Film, with a minor in Psychology.

It wasn’t until several years later, after he saw how physical therapists helped

out when his father was diagnosed with cancer, that pursuing a health care career

reappeared on his radar.

“The more I researched, the more I liked,” says Natanson, a 2010 Putnam Family

Scholar. “I was drawn to helping people improve the quality of their lives in a

practical and useful manner.”

kristi eckardtCVS MinuteClinic Scholar

Students at the MGH Institute find their passion for health care in myriad ways be-

fore arriving at the Charlestown Navy Yard campus.

Kristi Eckardt discovered hers as a chaplain at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and

the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

The Harvard Divinity School graduate spent several years ministering to the sick at

the two Boston hospitals, during which time she observed the pivotal role nurses

played in the lives of their patients.

After launching a church and having a short stint teaching communication skills at

an area college, she realized her true calling was to become a nurse practitioner.

“I found out I really missed health care,” says Eckardt, the 2010 CVS MinuteClinic

Scholar who is in her first year in the Master of Science in Nursing program. “I

wanted the opportunity to become a multi-dimensional leader in nursing, and the

MGH Institute was the place I felt I could learn to do that best.”

It hasn’t taken her long to confirm her initial beliefs.

“The faculty are extraordinary practicing clinicians, they are excellent classroom

teachers, and they really want to teach,” she says.

Upon graduating from the three-year program in 2013, she envisions working as a

clinician and educator, and eventually mentoring future cohorts of nurses.

MinuteClinic Family Nurse Practitioners are today’s health care heroes. They work on the front lines of patient care and are redefi ning the way health care is delivered every day.

As a MinuteClinic FNP, you will be a leader in your community, treating and educating patients to help them live healthier lives by providing easy access to quality health care. And with the t help them live healthier lives by oviding to quality health And with the strength and support of a Fortune 20 company, you will have the tools, training and resources needed to be a healer, an educator, a hero.

annette rodriguez ellisJohn Hancock Financial Services Scholar

“There is so much we still don’t know about autism,” says Annette Rodriguez Ellis.

“But I do know that these kids also have something to say, they just don’t always

know how.”

Ellis is a second-year student in the Department of Communication Sciences and

Disorders at the MGH Institute. It was while working with children with autism as a

special education teacher at the New England Center for Children that she discovered

a way to have an impact in a more meaningful way.

“I didn’t even know speech-language pathology existed,” says Ellis, the 2010 John

Hancock Financial Services Scholar. "Once I learned about it, I discovered it was the

perfect fit for me.”

Ellis moved from her native Venezuela to New Hampshire when she was 13. Even

though she was completely bilingual, issues surrounding communication resonated

with her even as a psychology major at Dartmouth College.

The speech-language pathology program’s dual emphasis on both educational and

medical settings will allow her the flexibility to decide where she can make the most

impact once she graduates next spring.

"I’m attending the Institute because everyone should be able to reach their full

potential, whatever it may be, and I believe we need language to do that.”

michael monteiroSanders Family Scholar

Michael Monteiro thought recovering from a soccer injury while at Keene State

College was a hardship until he met other patients who were recovering from non-

athletic injuries.

"Seeing them work through their own injuries helped me understand the important

role physical therapists play," says the first-year student in the Doctor of Physical

Therapy program. "I realized that unless they had a successful recovery, they would

be unable to return to their jobs and provide for their families."

Monteiro, the 2010 Sanders Family Scholar, decided he wanted to help people, but

was unclear of his direction. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

and a short stint playing professional club soccer, he took a job as a mental health

counselor. He then became a personal trainer where he reconnected his passion for

athletics and physical fitness. He enjoyed the work, but soon realized the limitations

in that role.

"I would get to a point where I couldn’t help them any further, and it was frustrating,”

he recalls. "I wanted to explore deeper into the science of physical wellness, and

becoming a physical therapist was the way for me to do that."

Charles and Ann Sanders congratulate the MGH Institute of Health Professions on its 34-year history of providing an outstandinghealth care education to practitioners, researchers, and academics. Graduates go on to provide both care and leadership in their chosen profession.

We are proud to be Founders of the MGH Institute and receive great satisfaction from its past accomplishments and the knowledgethat its future is in excellent hands.

viena yeungMassachusetts General Hospital Scholar

Viena Yeung began understanding the crucial role languages play in education

after she and her family moved from Hong Kong to the Dominican Republic.

A native Cantonese speaker, Yeung was enrolled in an American elementary school

there, and mainstreamed after two years of English as a Second Language classes.

She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Romance Languages and Literatures

from the University of Chicago, and a Master of Science in Education from Brooklyn

College, the City University of New York.

As a New York City Teaching Fellow, she taught second grade at a public elementary

school in Brooklyn. Later, she worked as a teacher and manager of Early/Head Start

programs in New York City’s Lower East Side, a neighborhood composed of mostly

Chinese and Dominican immigrant families.

Yeung discovered the value of becoming a bilingual speech-language pathologist

who could help children with language disorders catch up with their peers. It

spurred her to pursue a new career in communication sciences and disorders.

The 2010 Massachusetts General Hospital Scholar has worked with children

at the Speech, Language and Literacy Center during her current course of studies,

which has prompted her to take additional courses at the Institute so that she

can also earn a Reading Specialist license upon graduation.

“The emphasis on providing real-world, intensive clinical and professional

experiences really sets the Institute’s program apart from others,” she says.

“Education is simply

the soul of a society

as it passes from one

generation to another.”

— G. K. Chesterton

� ank you for supporting the next generation of providers.


amy mcdonoughOracle/Phase Forward Scholar

By the time Amy McDonough began in the Graduate Program in Medical Imaging

this fall, she knew all too well about x-rays.

McDonough, the 2010 Oracle Phase Forward Scholar, experienced extreme back

pain after growing several inches as a 14-year-old. That led to an odyssey of tests

and procedures that revealed she had scoliosis.

After wearing a chest to bottom hard plastic back brace (“A teenager’s worst

nightmare”) for almost three years, doctors then discovered she had a stress

fracture in her spine, which led to more bone scans, MRIs, and x-rays.

The pain eased by the time she graduated with a business degree from Suffolk

University. But working in marketing was not fulfilling, and soon her interest in

science (she originally was a biology major) and her x-ray experiences led her to

a new career path at the MGH Institute.

“I want to be one of those radiologic technologists that someone can look back

and say ‘She really made me feel at ease’,” McDonough says, recalling the care she

received. “Just to know I helped make things a little less stressful will make my day.”
