Kristina Parker, a recent graduate from Sampson Community College (SCC) in Clinton, North Carolina, has received the Royal Heritage Nursing Scholarship for the 2023-2024 academic year. Established in 2003 by Dr. Donnie Martin Royal and Mrs. Dorothy Turlington Royal, the scholarship supports nursing students at SCC. Dr. Royal, a general medicine physician, served the Sampson County community for over sixty years.

After completing her Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) this spring, Parker plans to use her education to advocate for diverse and personalized healthcare. Her experiences at SCC and her work as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Betsy Johnson Hospital have deepened her commitment to holistic patient care.

The Royal Heritage Nursing Scholarship has helped Parker cover costs like tuition, books, and uniforms, allowing her to focus on her studies and work part-time. She is grateful to the Royal family and hopes to create a similar scholarship in the future.
