The Effingham County Community Foundation selected the 2014 recipients of the Roy Robson & Roma Jackson Nursing Scholarship.

Nichole Davis, Nicole Hodge, Allison Kabbes, Amelia Kopplin, Olivia Miller, Anna Shelton, Sarah Wortman and Brittany Zacha; and a $3,000 scholarship to Katie Roedl.
Graduates of any Effingham County high school seeking a degree in nursing are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The selection criteria is based on 25% academic information and ranking; 25% financial need; 40% written essay describing educational and career goals; and 10% letter of reference from an instructor who can assess the applicants’ ability to achieve his/her educational and career goals.
