The 2016 Regirer Nursing Scholarship applications are now available online.  Each year VHCA-VCAL’s Commonwealth Long Term Care Foundation awards $1,500 scholarships to employees in VHCA-VCAL member nursing and assisted living facilities who want to become LPNs or RNs and continue their careers in long term care.

The scholarships make a huge impact on the recipients.  Hear what some of the 2015 Regirer Nursing Scholarship recipients had to say about it:

When I found out I received this scholarship, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I never knew I could be filled with so much gratitude towards people I didn’t even know. -Francisca Ochieng

Receiving the 2015 Regirer Nursing Scholarship helped to make my dream of becoming a nurse turn into reality, without the help of this generous scholarship I would have been unable to attend nursing school especially with the family obligations that I have. -Thank you, Beverly Kamara

Encourage your staff members who are interested in furthering their nursing education to submit a scholarship application!  The application deadline is May 1.
