Through a generous grant from the Dr. and Mrs. Hugh A. Kennedy Foundation of Corpus Christi, Texas, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh College of Nursing established the Kennedy Nursing Fellow Scholarships.

“The Kennedy Nursing Fellow Scholarship allows the College of Nursing the opportunity to recognize excellence in our top nursing students,” Dean Rosemary Smith said. “We appreciate the confidence that the Dr. and Mrs. Hugh A. Kennedy Foundation has placed in the College of Nursing as we develop caring and scholarly nurse leaders.”
