NPC Celebrates Local Scholars: Over $140,000 in Health Sciences Scholarships Awarded

National Park College (NPC) recently held its Nursing and Health Sciences Honors Day, an event that recognizes the achievements of students in nursing and allied health programs. This year, the college awarded over $140,000 in scholarships to students in various disciplines, including Registered Nursing, Licensed Practical Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy, and others. A total of 176 scholarships were given, funded by community organizations and private donors, many of whom are NPC alumni.

The ceremony acknowledged the donors whose contributions supported these scholarships. Janice Ivers, the Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences at NPC, noted that the scholarships help reduce students' financial burdens and boost their confidence and motivation, which are vital for their academic success.

The scholarships addressed the diverse needs and achievements of the students. For example, the Altrusa International Scholarship recognized multiple students, including Mallory Burgess and Leah Ollison, for their potential in nursing. The Bernard Nugent Nursing Scholarship was given to students like Jalyn Jones and Avery Neal, supporting aspiring nurses at NPC.

The event also encouraged students to think about contributing to their community and profession in the future. It highlighted the role of alumni and other donors in supporting education and inspired students to consider the impact they could make in their professional lives.
