BRTC Nursing students earn Leave a Legacy Scholarship

POCAHONTAS, AR  Mar. 24 — The Leave a Legacy Scholarship was founded by the May 2015 practical nursing class.

The recipients are Shea Capps, Rheanna Siebert, Emily Hamilton, Kaitlyn Stromatt, Brandi Wells, Maranda Sickler, Anna Barnhill, Elizabeth Moore, Jeanina Smith, Brandy Kennedy, Kimberly Griffin, Sierra Ring, Shania Wheetley, LeighAnne Carlile, Jenny Barber, Ben Gore, James Freeman, Breck Rushing, Shellee Hollis, Joshua Tippitt, Jayla Elliff, Ammy Morrow, Courtney Marchbanks, Danielle Lester, Kaitlyn Rosseau, and Katherine Cole.
