Nursing scholarship offered

The Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation has announced the second annual BCC Foundation Donna Johnson Memorial Scholarship. This program provides scholarships to individuals who are interested in and committed to oncology nursing and who are pursuing a baccalaureate degree in nursing through a Bismarck college. Scholarships are also available to registered nurses pursuing a master’s degree or oncology certification. Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded in 2013 to qualified individuals. The deadline for the scholarship application is March 1.

The Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation is a non-profit 501(C)3 established in July 2007 that offers much needed support to Bismarck Cancer Center patients for things not covered by insurance. The foundation’s mission is to help the patient throughout his or her cancer journey with needed services and financial care. This scholarship will provide financial assistance toward educating students who will be providing the care and needed services for BCC cancer patients in the future.
