An anonymous donor interested in Brigham Young University's College of Nursing has bestowed a $50,000 endowment to be used for a new award called the June Leifson Scholarship.

"We sometimes get funds from foundations but rarely from individuals," said Leifson, who is dean of the college. "To have someone interested in our program and want to name it after the dean is truly an honor."Those interested in applying need to be enrolled in either the bachelor's or master's nursing program and maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. The student must also demonstrate involvement and commitment to church and community service.

Those interested in additional scholarship information may call the College of Nursing at 378-4144.
