Being a medical professional is never easy. It is a profession reached only by unique individuals gifted with the right blend of intelligence, compassion, and drive. Similarly, being a single parent demands daily displays of uncommon courage and dedication. Straddling both of these challenges successfully for decades the Mary Blake Single Parent Nursing Scholarship is created. The scholarship recognizes and rewards the efforts of individuals who meet the joint challenges of single parenthood and nursing.
