Impact

“I am honored to have been chosen as the recipient of the Susan C. Bogaard Memorial Nursing Scholarship. I want to thank you for your generous contribution towards my education. I am looking forward to starting the core nursing classes this fall at MSTC. Receiving this award will aid in my success by allowing me to put more time towards my studies, and less time at work. I know nursing school will take a lot of dedication and hard work; this scholarship helps to take away some of the financial burden that comes with returning to school and leaving the workforce. Going back to school at 30 years old to get my nursing degree comes with some nervousness, but being awarded a scholarship has given me some confidence, showing me that I am capable, and I can do this! I am truly grateful for your support through my nursing school adventure, and I hope to be able to pay it forward after finishing my degree. I would love to help a student in my position as they start their journey to their dream job. I know scholarships can be limited, and not everyone is awarded one, so I vow to not take it for granted and work as hard as possible to be successful.” – Morgan Randall
