Impact

“I cannot begin to completely express my gratitude for this gift. My heart is pounding right now from the unexpectedness of this news and the pure joy I am feeling. My husband and I have worked for several years just to get into a position that I am able to start my nursing education and any financial help is greatly appreciated as I am not working full time while in school. This allows me to put maximum time and effort in to my school work which as paid off in excellent grades. This scholarship helps to relieve the stress I feel from the financial crunch of my school payments. I am excited to finish my practical nursing program and be able to start using my skills in the community beginning next summer. Thank you again for helping to make my dreams come true!”
