Applying for a scholarship can feel like yet another system designed for people who already know how it works. The terminology is confusing. The deadlines stack up. And somewhere between studying for the MCAT and keeping your job and helping your family navigate their own appointments, it's easy to decide it's not worth the effort. It is worth it. And we're going to make it less confusing.

So Why Aren't We There Yet?]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal just made the case for nursing as America's surest route to economic stability. We agree. But the story isn't complete until we talk about who's missing from that picture — and what it costs all of us. Factory work used to be America's most reliable ticket to the middle class. Then came office jobs. Now, as automation and artificial intelligence reshape the economy and close off paths that once seemed permanent, a new consensus is forming: healthcare — and nursing in...]]></description><link>https://www.daisyfamilyfoundation.org/post/nursing-is-the-new-path-to-the-middle-class-so-why-aren-t-we-there-yet</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d407e684368b484106047c</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 09:02:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/17cb7e_c877ed38e02e4f8abfb5f9ab1557b421~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Robert Han</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The One Big Beautiful Bill Changed How Much Students Can Borrow for Healthcare Degrees.  Here's What You Need to Know.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Federal student loan caps are reshaping who can afford to become nurses, a physician assistant, or a public health professional -- and the debate over whether that's the right call is just getting started. If you're a nursing student, a physician assistant candidate, or planning a graduate degree in public health, the federal government just changed the rules on how much you can borrow to pay for your education. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act — signed into law on July 4, 2025 — is one of the...]]></description><link>https://www.daisyfamilyfoundation.org/post/the-one-big-beautiful-bill-changed-how-much-students-can-borrow-for-healthcare-degrees-here-s-what</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cd4d352a4608ae001a34c9</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:02:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/17cb7e_6e3d5c04bdc6473f963de17b2b37cd10~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Robert Han</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why We Started the Daisy Family Foundation -- And What We're Building]]></title><description><![CDATA[A letter from our founder. There's a moment I keep coming back to. A young woman — first in her family to go to college, the person everyone called when something needed to be translated, explained, or navigated — was sitting in a waiting room. She'd been waitlisted at three medical schools. Her MCAT scores were strong. Her personal statement was extraordinary. What she didn't have was $500 for the application fees to the remaining schools on her list. She didn't apply to them. She became a...]]></description><link>https://www.daisyfamilyfoundation.org/post/why-we-started-the-daisy-family-foundation-and-what-we-re-building</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc351f7d31fe550c64d140</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:43:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/17cb7e_9ce2968022524b0b95ad844d093017a9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_970,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Robert Han</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Your Doctor Probably Doesn't Speak Your Language]]></title><description><![CDATA[And what it costs us when they don't. Imagine you're sick. Really sick. Your chest hurts, you're short of breath, and you've finally made it to a doctor's office — a place that took you three bus transfers and a half-day off work to reach. You sit down across from a physician. And then comes the moment that changes everything: they don't speak your language. This isn't a hypothetical. For more than 25 million people in the United States with limited English proficiency, this is a Tuesday.  ...]]></description><link>https://www.daisyfamilyfoundation.org/post/why-your-doctor-probably-doesn-t-speak-your-language</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc18477d31fe550c648d43</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:06:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2afc18df46164f76864429c27bce2455.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Robert Han</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
