Michael B. Kaplan Scholarship

Michael B. Kaplan Scholarship
About the Scholarship

The Michael B. Kaplan Scholarship at the Isabella Graham Hart School of Practical Nursing honors Michael B. Kaplan, a student who matriculated in August of 2006, excited about embarking on a second career. Those plans were cut short by his tragic, sudden death at age 36. His family and friends have chosen to honor his commitment and to carry on his spirit by establishing a scholarship for a student who embodies Mike’s dedication to caring for others and who is embarking on nursing as a second career at IGHSPN. He articulated his long-term plan – first to complete his LPN and work with terminally ill children, then to become an RN, and later perhaps a nurse anesthetist. In his short time at IGHSPN, Michael demonstrated his enthusiasm, his diligence, and his extraordinary work ethic. It is our wish that the recipient of the Michael B. Kaplan Scholarship will embody the spirit, the focus, and the determination that Mike exemplified. This scholarship will be awarded twice per year at graduation in June and November in the amount of $1500.
Criteria: Applicants must be a male student at Isabella Graham Hart School of Practical Nursing with evidence of the successful completion of Semester II.
