Council Board President Bob Bruggeman and Board member The Honorable Ted Capeheart presented the donation to TAMUT President Dr. Ross Alexander.
The endowed scholarship will provide ongoing support for nursing students at the university. Endowed scholarships are funded through donations where the principal amount is invested, and the interest generated provides annual scholarship awards in perpetuity.
TAMUT offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program designed to prepare students for careers in healthcare. The university serves the Texarkana region and surrounding communities in Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas.
