Glenview's Sporer Receives Nursing Scholarship

GLENVIEW, IL — The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem recently awarded five deserving high school seniors from the North Shore area a $5,000 scholarship each toward a career in nursing through accredited nursing baccalaureate programs. The scholarship winners demonstrated exemplary leadership and academic success in their community.

Scholarship winner Margaret Sporer, of Glenview, will be attending Marquette University for nursing. The Glenbrook South High School graduate works as a rehab technician at Illinois Bone and Joint Institute and volunteers as a tutor at the Onward House. Sporer received The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem Nursing Scholarship, funded by The Auxiliary of NorthShore.

"The Auxiliary of NorthShore congratulates the scholarship awardees and wishes the best in their future education and nursing careers," said Nancy Semerdjian, president of The Auxiliary of NorthShore, in a statement. "When I was in nursing school, I recall vividly how important financial stability and support was early in my career. We are looking forward to watching these students grow in their profession, at such a critical time in healthcare."

The current nursing shortage has been strongly documented, both nationally and regionally. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has demanded more from nurses than ever before. Since NorthShore is committed to the future of healthcare, Auxiliary members feel that these scholarships are a well-directed effort.
