Indiana Center for Nursing Scholarship: Stephanie Taylor, Nicole Schaekel and Rylie Parker. Bruce & Linda Myers Scholarship: Sydney Geiger and Peyton Butler. Nursing Scholarship: Kendal Mansfield. Jim & Gloria Wilson Nursing Award: Victoria Randolph. Winter Nursing Scholarship: Alyssa Marvel and Raegan Neuenschwander

The Indiana Center for Nursing Scholarship goes to nursing students at Huntington University who meet requirements including GPA, Indiana residency, and commitment to working as a registered nurse in Indiana. The Department of Nursing announces the number of scholarships awarded each year.

The Department of Nursing awards the Bruce and Linda Myers Nursing Scholarship on behalf of the Myers family. Bruce and Linda Myers were owners of Myers Funeral Homes in Huntington and Markle. During their 25 years in business, they developed close ties with the people of Huntington and Wells Counties and with Huntington University, where Bruce served on the Huntington University Foundation Board and the Fine Arts Council. Linda was a registered nurse with 30 years of medical-surgical and critical care experience. Their professional and personal lives were founded on a deep faith in and love for their Savior, Jesus Christ.

Their desire in giving the scholarship was twofold: to support the mission of Huntington University and the Department of Nursing and to aid serious students of the nursing field in achieving their educational goals by providing financial assistance. Criteria to receive this scholarship include being a current junior nursing major or sophomore accepted into the program, GPA, an essay and demonstrated financial need
