iowa lakes community college awards

nursing workforce personnel stimulus Scholarships

 

Iowa Lakes Community College has awarded the 2003-04 Nursing Workforce Personnel Stimulus Scholarships. 

 

The recipients are Jennifer Quinn of Armstrong; Sandra Hill and Angi Hill of Arnolds Park; Kory Champine of Dolliver; Michelle Firkins and Colleen Hart of Emmetsburg; Renee Kautz of Estherville, Ashley Jensen of Graettinger; Anna Dammann of Marcus; Patricia Miller of Spencer; and, Tiffany Johnson of Swea City.

 

These scholarships were funded by a grant from the Iowa Department of Public Health with matching fund commitments from Avera Holy Family Health in Estherville, Palo Alto County Health System in Emmetsburg, Kossuth Regional Health Center in Algona and Spencer Hospital.  The goal of this grant was to focus on recruitment and retention of current or prospective nurses, thereby addressing the nursing workforce shortage in Iowa.  The Nursing Workforce Personnel Stimulus Scholarships were finalized with these awards and will not be available in 2004-05.

Those interested in applying for Iowa Lakes Community College Scholarships are encouraged to do so by April 1, 2004.  Those wishing to apply for or establish scholarships should contact Beth Kraft at the Iowa Lakes Community College Institutional Advancement/Foundations Office at 712-362-0410 or 800-242-5106 Ext. 410 or e-mail bkraft@iowalakes.edu.
