“Dear Scholoarship Donor,

Thank you for your generosity in awarding me with the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship. I am honored to receive this scholarship from the UCHealth Memorial Foundation. The award amount of $1,000.00 will contribute to my Fall 2023 tuition.

I will continue to work hard every semester to excel in my classes to show my appreciation for your generosity. Thank you again for awarding me with the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship, I will forever be grateful.”

“Dear the UCHealth Memorial Foundation,

Thank you so much to the UCHealth Memorial Foundation. I deeply appreciate the time everyone took and all the generosity and thoughtfulness that will help me reach my education goals in nursing school.

As we know nursing school will be some of the best and worst times. With this scholarship it will help me relieve some of the burden and stress of paying for school, and I am so grateful because school is expensive.

As I said in my interview I have always wanted to be a nurse and it’s been my dream and my life passion since I was a little girl. Thank you for helping me make my dream possible. Your contribution will not go to waste and it will help make me an excellent nurse one day. So once again THANK YOU!!!!”

time and let you know how grateful I am for each and everyone one of you. I am very passionate

“Dear UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship Donors,

I would like to give you a heartfelt thank you for becoming one of the recipients of the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship. Your gracious donation will help me fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse.

I was born and raised in Colorado Springs and attend Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth El College of Nursing. I plan to graduate in spring of 2024 with a BSN. I currently work as an Advance Care Partner on the Neuroscience unit at Memorial Central. Upon graduating I plan to work on this floor as a nurse and give back to the community which has given so much to me.

This scholarship will allow me to be able to focus on school and alleviate stress surrounding finances. Your generosity has reminded me of the kindness that upholds the healthcare field. You have inspired me to help others and the future of nursing when I have the opportunity to donate myself.

Once again thank you for your generosity!”

“Dear Donors ,

Thank you for your continued support in the UCHealth Memorial Foundation Nursing Scholarship. This is my second year and last year I will be able to accept this scholarship.

I have been working towards nursing school for a while and am glad to say I am finally in the last year of my program. Scholarships like this one are what make furthering my education a possibility. I currently attend Nightingale College as a High Honors Student in the Bachelor of Nursing program and am thankful to be on my last stretch. The last scholarship helped me further myself through the program and focus more on my schooling instead of the financial aspect. I am grateful to be receiving this scholarship again and use it towards furthering my education.

I am very grateful to be receiving this scholarship and thank you again for your continued support. Me and the others receiving this scholarship appreciate the assistance the generous employees and community provide. I plan on continuing with UCHealth, and hope to become a donor myself one day.”
