EDWARDSVILLE - Graduates from the School of Nursing (SON) Class of 1966 at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville led a successful fundraising campaign to fully endow the Nursing Heritage Scholarship Endowment, a scholarship for traditional nursing students in perpetuity. Class of 1966 graduates, Sharon Grider, Barb Wagner, Mary Anne Wehrle, and Lynn Ward, sharing deep pride in the remarkable growth and success of their alma mater, asked fellow alumni and friends from the first five classes from the SON to join them in establishing a scholarship that would secure their legacy and impact on the future of nursing. “Prospective qualified students of all economic levels must have the opportunity to attain college education in their chosen field,” said Grider. “Who better to help them than those who have gone before them. Students need a quality education to be prepared to meet the challenges in nursing and I trust this scholarship will enable others to do just that
