GFWC-SBI Supports BCC Nursing Program

August 16, 2022 — The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï (BCC) Foundation is excited to share that members of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of the South Brunswick Islands (GFWC-SBI) have donated $1,000.00 to the Foundation of BCC. This donation will provide scholarship support to a deserving nursing student currently enrolled at the College. The GFWC-SBI is a local chapter of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), which is one of the world’s largest and oldest non-denominational, non-partisan, International volunteer service organizations for women.GFWC-SBI has had a commitment to education since inception as a charter member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. They support our community by offering scholarships to those in financial need with a strong academic background and a drive to succeed. To date, GFWC-SBI has awarded almost $50,000 in scholarships to students in our local community since 1988. The passion and commitment for the nursing career stems from a long line of medical professionals within the organization where many club members are nurses. The club recognizes that there is currently a great demand for nurses throughout our country. In some areas, that demand has reached a point of crisis due to the shortage of qualified individuals to fill the needs of local communities.BCC Foundation Executive Director, Elizabeth Wassum says, “We are grateful to the GFWC- SBI for their continued support of BCC students nurses. The Federation is helping pave the way for future Brunswick County nurses.â€If you are interested in providing scholarship support for ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï students, please contact Elizabeth Wassum at 910-755-6530 or [email protected].
