Josephine's Light Memorial Nursing Scholarship Fund

Josephine's Light Memorial Scholarship is in honor of an exceptional mother, grandmother, friend and nurse whose light has had a lasting impact not only the nursing profession but on the community she served. All she did and the legacy she has left behind was all for the audience of one. Nurses are the backbone of healthcare — providing compassion, skill, and dedication to patients and families every day. Yet, many talented and passionate individuals face financial barriers that prevent them from pursuing a nursing education. Supporting a nursing scholarship is an investment in the future of healthcare. By funding nursing students, donors help ensure that hospitals, clinics, and communities have access to well-trained professionals who can deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. Your support not only eases the financial burden of tuition, books, and clinical fees but also empowers students to focus on their studies, gain critical experience, and serve where they’re needed most — especially in underserved areas. Each scholarship awarded represents more than financial assistance; it’s a message of belief and encouragement. It tells aspiring nurses that their dreams and their desire to care for others matter. Together, we can strengthen the nursing workforce, improve public health outcomes, and create a healthier, more compassionate world — one nurse at a time
