Charlotte Grace Educational Scholarship

 

Charlotte Grace was a dedicated School Nurse and active member of our organization for many years. She served on the NYSASN Board of Directors as Zone Coordinator from 1990 until her death in 1993. Her appreciation for and commitment to education was exemplified by the attainment of a Bachelor’s degree in 1951 and, just prior to her death, a Master’s degree in Elementary Education/Computers.
