Sybil H. Shearer passed away on January 3rd, 2009. Ms. Shearer's Last Will and Testament contained a bequest to the Community Foundation for the establishment of a nursing scholarship in her name. The goal of the scholarship is to provide an annual scholarship that will enable a student from Chelan County to complete a nursing degree. Applicants may be a current or previous graduate of a Chelan County school, or a current resident of Chelan County, with preference for individuals from or living in the Lake Chelan or Manson School Districts. They must be accepted to or currently enrolled as a student in an accredited nursing program in the United States. The scholarship will be awarded based primarily on goals in the field of nursing as described in the application essay, as well as evidence of interest in a nursing career demonstrated by volunteerism or previous employment; secondarily based on financial need. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundation of North Central Washington for more information.
