“Thank you so much! This is amazing news! I am in my final year of the BSN program, and this will be a huge help to reach the finish line.”

“Words cannot express how truly grateful and appreciative I am to have been selected to receive two Scholarships. The past two years have been very challenging for. Having lost everything, the idea of going back to school was incomprehensible. Having nothing but our faith, what we thought was impossible became attainable. Because of your generosity, my tuition is paid, I can buy books, I have assistance with commuting expenses, and food during school days. This has blessed us immensely and I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I am genuinely honored and grateful to be chosen as a recipient for the Fall semester. I recently graduated from the Darton College of Health Professions, with my Associate of Science in nursing. I begin the RN-to-BSN program this upcoming fall in hopes to graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing Spring 2023. This generous award will allow me to focus on my academics and not the burden of school expenses. I will always be thankful for this extraordinary reward that will open doors for many opportunities ahead.”

“I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to the foundation for awarding me the scholarship. I’m not used to being chosen for things and spent most of my life with feelings of inadequacy and not feeling worthy of success. There have been many stresses upon entering my program, and one of them has been the financial issues I’ve encountered. However, because of the foundation awarding me this scholarship, that weight has been relieved. You have not just awarded me a scholarship, but you have shown me that miracles do happen every day, and that change is possible, even for someone like me. Thank you once again for your decision to award me this scholarship.”

“I am honored to receive this Scholarship. Thank you so much for considering me to be the recipient. As I continue to complete my education at the Darton College of Healthcare Professionals, I will be forever grateful for your thoughtful gift. Because of your scholarship, I am able to cover the cost of tuition. I literally did not know how I was going to pay for my fall tuition and thought I would have to sit out this upcoming term. Thank you again for your thoughtful gift!”

“I am genuinely honored and grateful to be chosen as a recipient for this Scholarship. I begin my fourth semester of nursing school this next spring and this generous award will allow me to focus on my academics and not the burden of school tuition. This amazing scholarship is huge for my family and me. Without this opportunity students, like myself, would find it very difficult to navigate through a costly semester. Thank you.”

“I am so grateful to be chosen as one of this Spring recipients for a scholarship. Thanks to the Harold and Sarah Wetherbee Scholarship and the Darton Foundation, I’ll be able to dedicate more time to my education this semester without needing to take out another student loan or work extra shifts at my job. I’m planning to pursue a career as an Occupational Therapy Assistant and know that this support is an investment in my future. Thank you again for your gift!”
