Georgette Viellion Scholarship

The Georgette Viellion Scholarship was established in 2021 with a generous donation of $50,000 given by Mary V. Insall to honor her cherished nurse friend Georgette Viellion (Gigi) in memoriam. The scholarship is dedicated to the advancement of nursing education and is intended for a doctoral student devoted to becoming a full-time faculty member. As a doctoral prepared nurse educator and leader the recipient will develop expertise in teaching and scholarship as well as a service orientation for educating future nurse leaders.
