Littmann ® Stethoscopes and Marilyn Bagwell Leadership Developement Grants
FNSNA Convention Activity Highlights
“ This scholarship honors our parents’ lives and dedication to the values they believed in. They valued education as did their parents, and the sacrifices that often come with obtaining that education. By providing financial support and encouragement via this scholarship, a nursing student is closer to her dream and goal of becoming a nurse. We are pleased to participate in the recipient’ s nursing journey!”
-Dr. Deborah Lewis and Jones Craig, Jr.
