Tafford Uniforms, a leading supplier of nursing uniforms, shoes, and medical accessories, announced that two students have been awarded the inaugural Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship.
The scholarship program, announced in March 2007, was created by Tafford Uniforms to support the education and training of nursing students and help address the critical nursing shortage facing the healthcare industry in the United States.
This semester's winners of $1,000 scholarships were selected from an amazing group of applicants who will soon be serving in the nursing profession. The Tafford Uniforms Scholarship Committee received over 6,000 completed applications from approximately 1,600 schools across the country. Michael Allbritton, a single father with primary custody of three children, returned to school after raising a special-needs child.
Allbritton was awarded the scholarship to assist in his pursuit of a BSN degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. In his application, Allbritton stated, "With the opportunity presented, I am committed to succeeding, regardless of time, effort, or difficulty."
Aischa Jackson, single mother to two children, the second recipient announced today, returned to nursing school at 35 to achieve her dream of becoming a nurse. "I am also aware of the great shortage of nurses, and see an opportunity to grow within this field in the future," said Jackson. She hopes to graduate from the RN program at Jefferson State Community College, where she has earned a 4.0 grade point average, in order to help care for the sick and work in the medical mission field through her church.
