The Elaine Fordyce Nursing Education Endowment—Call for Applications
St. Peter’s Health is soliciting scholarship applications for the Elaine Fordyce Nursing Education Endowment. The Fordyce Nursing Education Endowment awards one scholarship annually to a public health nurse or nursing student not currently employed by St. Peter’s Health.
This scholarship is to be used by a nurse or nursing student to further their professional development in public health areas. The funding could be used to attend a conference, conduct research, or defray costs of tuition to a degree or certificate program.
The Fordyce Nursing Education Endowment was established by twin sisters Elaine and Edna Fordyce. Elaine Fordyce was a public health nurse at the Lewis and Clark City/County Health Department. Her commitment to furthering her own knowledge and that of others on issues of public health provided guidance and inspiration to many. In keeping with Elaine’s legacy, we are particularly interested in providing scholarships to an individual engaging in professional projects that not only further individual education in public health, but also collaborate on advancements in public health, or provide mentoring to others.
For more information, or if you are interested in submitting an application, please contact Anneliese Renck in St. Peter’s Health People Development at arenck@sphealth.org or 406-447-2405. Applications are due on or before May 15, 2022.
