“Financially, this wasn't the best time to go back to school, since my own children were about to enter college themselves in a few years. The scholarship truly helped decrease the financial burden so I could concentrate on my studies and not give up too much time with my children.” — Denise Hackett, nursing supervisor student and scholarship recipient, St. Luke’s Medical Center.
