Application for the Mary Alice Petersen Nursing Scholarship

Deadline Monday, January 7, 2019 at Noon

Those seeking to begin or continue their education in the field of Nursing are eligible to apply for scholarships thanks to the generous support of the family and friends of Mary Alice Petersen. Mary Alice Petersen was a quintessential caregiver, comforting and compassionately serving many throughout her nursing career. Mary Alice worked for over five decades at St. Luke’s Hospital and All Saints Hospital. She began as an aid in 1956 and served as a nurse and nurse manager until 2000 when she formally retired from the All Saints Health Care System. However, she continued to work part time thereafter until 2007. Mary Alice loved being a nurse and inspired her daughter, Krista to become a nurse. Her wish was to be able to mentor and encourage others in the nursing field and through this scholarship, her dreams are coming true.
