Lamplighter Scholarship Ceremony

Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 4:30 PM

Location: Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Atrium
777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431

The Lamplighter Scholarship Ceremony formally recognizes students’ entry into the nursing profession, as the lamp symbolizes the light a nurse brings to patients, offering hope and comfort to those in need. This year’s ceremony will be held on January 29, 2026. Sponsors and individual donors will have the opportunity to meet the nursing students whose journeys have been directly impacted by their generous support. We also invite you to view photos, watch videos and read scholars' stories from previous events.
