Black River Technical College (BRTC) has awarded Ashlee Taber of Jonesboro the Leave A Legacy Scholarship.
Taber is a 2022 graduate of Nettleton High School and is seeking a degree in nursing. She is the daughter of Tiffany and Jeremy Taber.
The Leave A Legacy Scholarship was founded by the May 2015 Practical Nursing class, who had a goal to leave a legacy for the future nursing students at BRTC. They saw the financial hardships nursing students face during the last semester of the nursing program due to licensure fees, and decided to form the scholarship to help offset the cost of the fees. Each graduating class has continued the legacy through fundraising activities and continued donations to the scholarship.
Congratulations, Ashlee!
