2009 Nursing Education Scholarship winner Regina Belcastro with her parents, and Nursing Scholarship Chair Marge Gambow (left).

Every year, The Auxiliary offers a $5,000 college scholarship to a high school senior in our core service area who plans to pursue an education in the field of nursing. The current nursing shortage crisis has been strongly documented, both nationally and regionally. Since NorthShore is committed to the future of healthcare, Auxiliary members felt that this scholarship would be a well-directed effort.

All students with a desire to further their education in nursing at a college level are encouraged to apply each Spring.  Congratulations to the 2009 Nursing Education Scholarship winner Regina Belcastro, who graduated from Regina Dominican High School last spring.  Belcastro attends the University of Iowa's School of Nursing.  For more information about the scholarship, contact The Auxiliary office at 847.570.5095 or email The Auxiliary at auxiliary@northshore.org
