A nurse spurred by the racial unrest in Ferguson following last summer's police shooting death of Michael Brown is giving prospective nurses from that St. Louis suburb an educational break.
Pat Potter coordinates research for nursing and allied health at BJC Health System. She started a scholarship fund in November of last year to assist Ferguson students interested in pursuing careers in nursing.
Only students from the two high schools within Ferguson are eligible to apply for the Nurses for Ferguson Scholarship. Two recent McCluer High School graduates are the first recipients of the scholarship. They each received $1,500.
