Boehnlein Nursing Scholarships
In August 1989, Harvey Boehnlein donated $25,000 to Theda Clark Regional Medical Center for a nursing scholarship program. This generous gift was made in remembrance of his first wife, Ruth Stowe Boehnlein, who was a supervisor of the hospital’s obstetrical department.
Mr. Boehnlein donated another $25,000 in his second wife’s name, Gretchen Johnson Boehnlein, to assist students in continuing their studies. Mr. Boehnlein continues to add to the scholarship fund periodically.
An amount of $1,000 each is awarded to four students from the Fox River Valley area who are pursuing Nursing Degrees.$1,000 scholarships* are awarded to area students who are pursuing Nursing Degrees. The students must be either an incoming freshman registering as full-time and taking credits applicable to the Nursing Degree OR a college student who is continuing his/her education toward either a Bachelors Degree in Nursing or an advanced degree from a recognized and fully accredited professional nursing program.
Applications for the 2011 Boehnlein Nursing Scholarships will be available in the Fall of 2010.
