Martha Douglas Memorial Scholarship

Description

Every success begins with a vision. Martha Douglas was a visionary leader for the handful of school nurses in Mississippi beginning in the 1980's. Martha's dream was to have many school nurses in Mississippi to better serve the children. Through joining the National Association of School Nurses, funded by Martha, the small number of school nurses across the state had a model to develop school nurse leaders to advance school nursing in Mississippi. She accomplished exactly what she envisioned, the spread of love through healthcare for the children of Mississippi. Her dream continues today through the advancement of school nursing in Mississippi. The Martha Douglas Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to students currently enrolled as a student in good standing at a school of nursing. First preference will be given to applicants who are practicing as a school nurse in a MS school district. Second preference will be given to a student in a BSN or higher program of study. Applicants must submit a letter from their school verifying that they are enrolled and in good academic standing. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
