Arlington Heights Nurses Club Scholarship
The Arlington Heights Nurses Club introduced its 2018 - 2019 scholarship winners to members at their May meeting. Five outstanding nursing students were honored to receive scholarships that will help fund their nursing education.
The Scholarship Committee of the Nurses Club was genuinely impressed by the qualifications of the following five nursing students. Gabrielle Saunders, a BSN completion student at Purdue University, is the recipient of the Martha Jackson Scholarship, named for the club's founder in 1938. Four nursing students were winners of Arlington Heights Nurses Club scholarships. Michaela Hunsaker is completing her BSN degree at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. Olivet Nazarene University is where Jessica Schmidt is part of the BSN Program. Rebecca Barnas attends Carroll University and is a student in the BSN Program. Finally, attending the Rush University Masters Program is Elizabeth Paschall. We wish all of these nursing students our very best as they pursue their educational endeavors.
