A student at Frontier Nursing University, in Hyden, Kentucky, Donna Westmoreland, was awarded the Lucy Perry Scholarship. Ms. Westmoreland’s goal is to become a family nurse practitioner. She began her nursing career in critical care but moved on to home care for a more family friendly schedule to accommodate the needs of her two lively boys. She found she loved the independent practice setting of home care where she could monitor patients’ improvements over time and provide patient and family education. Her long-term goal is to teach undergraduate and graduate level nursing.
NEF’s only purpose is to provide nursing scholarship assistance to make graduate level nursing education possible. NEF is the largest, single, private, professionally endorsed source of funds for advanced nursing study with over one hundred years of service to and for professional nursing.
NEF’s Board of Directors is comprised of leaders from nursing, education, technology, and business communities. Members donate their time and talent to the advancement of the nursing profession. NEF operates with exceptionally low overhead. NEF employs only one individual who serves in several capacities. NEF is a non-profit organization with 501(c) status; thus, your contributions are fully tax-deductible.
