The nursing scholarships are available to members of the Church of the Brethren enrolled in LPN, RN, or nursing graduate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are stories from recipients of the scholarships, reported by Randi Rowan of the Church of the Brethren\u2019s Discipleship Ministries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebecca Bender comes from a family of nurses, but since she was young has had a strong desire to be an NICU nurse&#8211;she even reports writing a paper to that effect way back in the second grade. She was emphatic, \u201cwith God&#8217;s help I will strive to be the best nurse I can be.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in a long-term care facility fueled Krista Panone\u2019s desire to be a nurse. She loves serving others and feels she can make an impact on many individuals, thereby making the community better through healthcare. She\u2019s been down many different avenues, but the Lord has shown her that nursing is right where she belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find information on the scholarships, including an application form and instructions, at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/nursingscholarships\">www.brethren.org\/nursingscholarships<\/a>&nbsp;.
