Two students in the NCK Tech Practical Nursing (PN) program, Aubrey Gunter, Frankfurt, KS, and Lacy Jenson, Concordia, KS, are recipients of a Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN) $1,000.00 Scholarship. The students will receive their scholarships during the December State Board of Nursing Board Meeting and their winning essays will be published in an upcoming edition of the Kansas State Board of Nursing Newsletter.

The KSBN Scholarships are one time scholarships for students in pre-licensure nursing programs (professional or practical). Monies for the scholarships are donated by the Arthur Davis Agency, Cedar Falls, Iowa. The Arthur Davis Agency prints the KSBN Newsletter. KSBN Scholarship winners are selected by Board members through a blind review of an essay written by the applicant. The essay topic is selected by the Board. Four scholarships for $1000.00 each are awarded and are to be used for school expenses. Eligibility Criteria includes:

• Must be a resident of Kansas
• Must be enrolled full-time in nursing courses at a Kansas college, university, or technical school
• Professional students must have a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.75
• Practical Nursing students must be in good standing in the program.

The NCK Tech PN program is a one year certificate program. Patti Scott is the Nursing program Department Chair of the NCK Tech Beloit campus. Additional Nursing faculty on the Beloit campus are: Annette Saint, Nicki Kasl, Christine Budke, Rebecca Pellant, and Erica Knox.
