"The financial assistance you provided will be of great help to me in paying my educational expenses, and will allow me to concentrate more of my time towards learning and studying. Your generosity and support has inspired me to continuously work hard and give back to others, both as a future nurse and eventually through a scholarship to future nursing students like myself. My education pursuits would not be possible without generous support from scholarship sponsors like your organization. Thank you again for enabling this opportunity!"
"I am currently a junior BSN student and the Breakthrough to Nursing Director for my state student nurses' association. I also serve as the Vice President at my school NSNA chapter. Through these positions, I am able to grow as a nursing student and as a leader for the nursing community through resolution writing, planning events and working with others on projects. As I continue with clinical experiences, class lectures and volunteer work, I am paving the path I want my nursing journey to take. The FNSNA scholarship lets me focus on my studies and worry less about how I am going to pay for school. Thank you for helping me achieve my goal of becoming a registered nurse."
"Your generous scholarship will enable me to further my education. Becoming a registered nurse has been a passion of mine ever since losing my father in 2009. Once I became a mother, I finalized my plans and applied to nursing school. I am a proud mom to two beautiful little boys and wife to an airman in the United States Air Force. With your help, the stress of finding financial assistance has been lifted. For this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Community and the ability to give back have been persistent moral values throughout my life. I find your selfless generosity inspiring. In the words of Maya Angelou, 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' I cannot thank you enough for making the possible."
“My lifelong dream of attending nursing school is moving forward thanks to generous educational scholarships like yours. Since being named one of the recipients, my dream is becoming a reality at Davenport University School of Nursing.
This scholarship award gives me an opportunity to learn skills that will serve the nursing community. Thank you personally for your generosity. Without scholarship patrons willing to support nursing education, students such as me would be unable to pursue nursing degrees.
Your scholarship will help me earn my credentials as a Registered Nurse. My passion for nursing is matched only by my love for caring for people. My decision to specialize in nursing comes from the heart.
Once again, thank you for the vote of confidence and the scholarship.
​Your generosity has made a difference!”
