Funding Initiative
Your Impact Matters
At Kishwaukee College Foundation, we’re committed to creating opportunities that help students succeed today and in the future. This year, we’re focusing on one key initiative—the Nursing Textbook Fund—that directly support student learning and career readiness. Your generosity ensures our students have the tools, resources, and experiences they need to thrive.
Textbooks for Tomorrow's Nurses
Textbooks for Kishwaukee College Registered Nursing students are significantly higher than other College programs. In Spring 2025, Kish started its “All-In” Tuition model, which includes all fees and textbook costs in the tuition price. For the 2025-2026 academic year, the Foundation has committed to covering the additional textbook costs for Nursing students to ensure they have the needed resources to complete their education.
