Congratulations to this year's recipients, Alicia Smith and Kylie Romero, who each received a $10,000 scholarship to help pursue their nursing education! We are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving others, and we look forward to watching them grow into outstanding nurses.
A very special thank you goes to the Johnson family and the Owen and Joyce Johnson Foundation for making this incredible opportunity possible. Dr. Joyce Dunn Johnson grew up in Montpelier and devoted her life to advancing healthcare and nursing education. Through the generosity and vision of her family, her legacy will continue by helping future nurses achieve their dreams while strengthening healthcare in the Bear Lake Valley.
This scholarship is about much more than financial assistance—it's an investment in the future of our community. By supporting local students who are committed to returning home to care for their neighbors, the Joyce Dunn Johnson Nursing Scholarship is helping build the next generation of healthcare professionals for Bear Lake Valley.
Thank you to the Johnson family for your generosity, your partnership, and your commitment to improving rural healthcare. Your gift will make a lasting difference for these students and for our community for many years to come.
