The Texarkana College Foundation is honored to announce a $75,000 gift from the Wadley Regional Medical Center Auxiliary to support scholarships for students in Texarkana College’s Nursing and Health Science programs, including those pursuing pre-med degrees.
Mrs. Carol Collom Stoner, Auxiliary President and volunteer for more than 13 years, stated, “We are proud to be able to donate this endowment to Texarkana College to be used for student scholarships. Our region always has a nursing shortage, and these scholarships will go to help students who in the future will help local communities.”
The Wadley Auxiliary, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization, has served the Texarkana region for over 60 years, supporting the Wadley Regional Hospital Gift Shop, providing local nursing scholarships, contributing to community service organizations, and helping purchase medical supplies for patients in need. Several volunteers have served for close to 30 years, including longtime member Judy Sander, who said, “The donation from the Auxiliary group to Texarkana College’s nursing program will continue to help build a strong medical community for our region as it has for many years.”
