Scholarship for nursing students made permanent
The Breast Cancer Support Group of the Palouse has announced it will award a $1,500 annual scholarship to a student at the Washington State University College of Nursing in Spokane.
The scholarship, named for Roberta McFadden, was established in 2006 on a temporary basis but has now been made permanent with proceeds donated from the Roberta McFadden Memorial Endowment.
The endowment, initiated by Dr. Bruce McFadden and friends, represents a joint effort of Pullman Regional Hospital, WSU and the city of Pullman.
Roberta McFadden, with Darlene Ames, helped organize the Breast Cancer Support Group of the Palouse in 1991. The group’s goal is to offer a friendly environment for those newly diagnosed and those in recovery and survival stages of breast cancer.
Scholarship requirements, established by the WSU College of Nursing, are outlined at the following shortened web link: bit.ly/3OKAaNE.
