The JHG Texas Nursing Scholarship

The Johanniter Humanitarian Group of Texas (JHG Texas) Corporation is a humanitarian organization in Texas that is sponsored by the greater international Johanniter community. The Johanniterorden, or Knightly Order of St. John of the Hospital of Jerusalem, is the protestant branch of the Knights Hospitaller that originated with the founding of the first Christian hospital in Jerusalem in 1099. The Knightly Order of St. John was established in the same year and is the oldest charitable organization in existence today. For more than 900 years, Johanniter knights and their friends have worked to help the sick, the poor and the needy in their communities.

JHG Texas understands that there is a critical nursing shortage in the DFW area and that many area students have financial barriers that prohibit them from seeking a college education. Therefore, in recognition of the history of serving the sick and poor JHG established the JHG Texas Nursing Scholarship with the purpose to help students in financial need that have an interest in a career in nursing. The scholarship will provide an annual $5,000 scholarship to two TWU Dallas nursing students in their Junior or Senior year. Each scholarship recipient is designated as a “JHG Texas Nursing Scholar.”
