Trinity Health Foundation recently was presented a $2,000 donation for the Nursing Scholarship Program from Minot’s Sleep Inn & Suites.

“We are so thankful for partners like Sleep Inn & Suites Minot who support our efforts here at Trinity Health Foundation. With a nationwide nursing shortage, this gift will help us continue our mission in assisting the next generation of healthcare workers,” said Dusty Zimmerman, Trinity Health Foundation director.

This year’s nursing scholarship had a record 68 applicants, with 17 students receiving $3,000 scholarships. A recognition banquet is planned this spring.
