The Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital Nursing Scholarship program awarded more than $1 million to 774 students since being established in 1959. The Gift Shop at Inova Loudoun Hospital, Twice is Nice Thrift Shop in Leesburg, the Lights of Love remembrance program and the Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale raise funds for the project. In 2011-2012, $102,300 was awarded to 64 students. Scholarship amounts awarded ranged from $700 to $2,200 and are offered for all levels of nursing, LPN, RN and advanced degrees. Applications are currently being accepted and must be received by April 17. For more information or applications go to ladiesboard.org.
I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful organization, and it is also a privilege to volunteer at Inova Loudoun Hospital. It is very touching to see community support for the hospital gift shop, Twice Is Nice thrift shop, and the amazing annual rummage sale!
