About Education Foundation
Supporting the talent that will transform the future of healthcare
Education Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization created by Ponce Health Sciences University to ensure that the education of health sciences professionals is never interrupted for financial reasons.
Our work connects donors, alumni, philanthropists, and partners with the next generation of physicians, psychologists, public health professionals, researchers, and other professionals who will impact global communities.
The Foundation upholds PHSU’s long-standing commitment to accessible education, academic excellence, and service as drivers of social transformation. We believe in the power of investing in talent: when a student thrives, so do their family, their community, and the healthcare system as a whole.
History and Need
PHSU has trained healthcare professionals for the past 48 years, many of them from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Education Foundation was created to strengthen that legacy, expand financial aid opportunities, and ensure that no aspiring student is left behind.
Council and Leadership
Education Foundation is comprised of leaders with experience in education, health, philanthropy, science, and administration. Their commitment is to ensure that every donation is used strategically, transparently, and directed toward maximizing educational impact.
