I have had a positive experience with the scholarship program; the financial impact is significant but the connections that I’ve made are career-building. There is no doubt that this nursing scholarship program is an investment in the Liberty Hospital and its surrounding communities.

Stocksdale Family Education Assistance Program

With a generous gift from the Stocksdale family, we are now able to offer up to $5,250 for full-time employees (up to $2,500 for part-time and PRN employees) per fiscal year toward coursework that leads to a degree or licensure/registration.

High School Nursing Scholarship Program

The Nursing Scholarship program continues to benefit both the hospital and the awardees. At our annual Nurses’ Week Luncheon, we are able to introduce high school seniors to our current staff and build lasting relationships. Currently, we have 8 nurses working at Liberty Hospital who were past recipients of a high school scholarship.
