The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital has awarded 40 nursing scholarships totaling $170,000 to nursing students who live or work in Loudoun County.
Recipients are enrolled in LPN, BSN, RN, MSN and DNP programs at a variety of schools, colleges and universities. Scholarships were for $3,700, with $1,100 bonuses given to nurses employed by Inova Loudoun Hospital.
Scholarships are funded by the annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale, Riverside Gift Shop at Inova Loudoun Hospital, Twice Is Nice thrift shop in Leesburg and the Lights of Love remembrance program.
“We are deeply grateful for the community’s support of Lights of Love, as well as their loyal shopping at Twice Is Nice, Riverside Gift Shop, and the Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale. Their generosity makes it possible for us to fund nursing education — an investment in the future of healthcare,” Scholarship Committee Chair Arlene Kilborn stated in the announcement
Since the nursing scholarship program began in 1960 to provide supplemental funds to worthy nursing students, The Ladies Board has awarded over $2.5 million to over 1,456 applicants.
Scholarship applications for next year will be available in January at ladiesboard.org. Applicants must live and/or work in Loudoun County and be enrolled in or accepted by an accredited school of nursing.
