Dorothea Johnson Award in Nursing

Dorothea Johnson began her career as a nursing professional in South Africa during a time when equal access to education did not exist. She actively pursued her education over many years despite the financial and political obstacles and obtained both her RN certification and additional practical certificates. Mrs. Johnson strongly believes in the importance of lifelong learning. She established the Dorothea Johnson Award in Nursing to encourage and assist individuals who are pursuing a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BScN). The award will be made annually to a student pursuing the BScN program who has completed at least 30 credits and has the best academic performance among those who have shown financial need.
