Update on HSOP Scholarship to Student in Need
ast year, The Harrison School of Pharmacy faculty and staff came to the rescue of then third year student pharmacist Jenifer Stanford. Her husband Trent was critically injured in an automobile accident last April. He has been receiving rehabilitation services since he was released from the hospital. With injuries as severe as his, the road to complete recovery is long and unpredictable.
Jenifer's plight caused an outpouring of sympathy from folks wanting to help. First, she met with faculty to catch up on the class work she missed in the first days after her husband's accident. Then, Trent’s employer, Wal-Mart, surprised Jenifer with a $11,000 scholarship so she could complete her 3rd year at HSOP. And the HSOP faculty and staff set up a scholarship fund to pay for her 4th year.
Recently, a faculty meeting was treated to a visit by Jenifer and Trent. The HSOP Scholarship in the amount of $11,000, completely funded by donations from faculty and staff, was presented to the pair. Jenifer expressed thanks to everyone who contributed. It was an touching and emotional moment for all concerned. Trent is still in a wheelchair and everyone is praying for his complete recovery.
