Description

After his wife Carol died in 2022, Bruce Anderson of Britton, South Dakota, wanted to honor Carol in a meaningful manner. He decided that a nursing scholarship might be a significant way to accomplish this goal. The Carol and Bruce Anderson Memorial Family Nursing Scholarship will be awarded to a current South Dakota resident, with preference given to a resident of one of these locations (in order of preference): city of Britton; counties of Marshall, Brown, Day, Roberts, McPherson, Edmunds, Faulk, or Spink. They must be students accepted into the nursing major and currently attending an accredited pre-licensure registered nurse (associate or baccalaureate degree) program at one of the eligible nursing education programs. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation describing their personal qualities and activities that exemplify your leadership, compassion, activities, and community service. Letters of recommendation must be from non-family members, e.g., employer, pastor, school counselor. At least one letter of recommendation should be from a faculty member in your nursing program if you have completed one or more semesters in your nursing program. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the South Dakota Nurses Foundation for more information.
