UNC Health Lenoir launches new scholarship opportunity

In a show of support for nursing students at Lenoir Community College, UNC Health Lenoir has launched a new scholarship opportunity. Students entering or currently in the nursing program for both Registered Nursing (RN) and Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) can apply and interview for a partial or full scholarship.  Student attributes include financial need, drive and compassion to care for patients and their families, and scholastic ability and success. 

UNC Health Lenoir had the privilege of reviewing and interviewing 4 candidates this year. Once the students were interviewed the committee made up of Chief Nursing Officer, Jill Phlippeau and nursing leaders selected the top candidate.  

We are proud to announce this year’s full scholarship recipient is Summer Grant. Summer is currently enrolled in the LPN program at Lenoir Community College. 

Jill Phlippeau stated, “Summer shows tremendous promise and dedication to the profession.  She has a compassion for patients and has already had the privilege of caring for family members.  We are proud of Summer and know she sets the bar high for future candidates.” 

UNC Health Lenoir is committed to providing excellent patient care and supports students who have a heart for patients and families in need of health care.
