MJ Strength in Care Scholarship
Mary Jane Beck is a former nurse and beloved mother who is currently battling brain cancer with strength and persistence.
During her extended hospital stay, the compassion and warmth shown by the nursing staff have brought true joy to her days, and she has deeply connected with the nurses who have cared for her. Kind and capable caregivers can make all the difference in lifting people through difficult moments.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Mary Jane Beck by supporting students who share her devotion to nursing.
Any female undergraduate or graduate student who is pursuing a full-time nursing program may apply for this scholarship opportunity. You must have a profile photo to be considered.
To apply, tell us about your interest in nursing, what has shaped your journey so far, and what you’re passionate about outside of nursing.
