To them, it represents a big part of their lives as they prepare for a health care profession. For Ina Clark of Huntsville, it epitomizes the high regard she and her late husband, James Allan Clark, had for the nursing profession. When Mr. Clark died in 1990, Mrs. Clark established the James Allan Clark Memorial Scholarship, not only to perpetuate his memory and his contribution to the architectural profession, but also to provide financial assistance to deserving students who desire to earn a bachelor of science degree in nursing. The scholarship is based on academic merit and financial need and is now fully endowed. The recipient must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 and above with a demonstrated need for financial assistance.
Preference is given to licensed registered nurses and licensed practical nurses.
This year's recipient of the Clark Scholarship is Lisha Land of Cullman. The scholarship helps with her expenses and her future nursing goals, which includes sharing her knowledge. And completing my bachelor's degree will mean I can also teach clinicals to nursing students in the hospital setting. Land will graduate next August and said she also appreciates Mr. Clark's talent for design and the feasibility of the Nursing Building. Mr. Clark was vice president of Teledyne Architects during the design and construction phase of the nursing building in the early 1970s.
