In 1992, AWCMS created two Endowed Nursing Scholarship Funds with grants from its Annual
Rummage Sale proceeds. The Endowments insure that AWCMS Scholarships will be available at UNR's
Orvis Nursing School and the TMCC School of Nursing in the future. The Orvis Endowed Fund was
created by a $10,000.00 grant. The $5,000.00 grant to TMCC was matched by a 2-to-1 Government
Community College Marching Funds Program. The original $5,000.00 grant created a $15,000.00
Endowment Fund for the TMCC Nursing School.
By September 2007, the Orvis Fund had grown to $77,600.00, producing a total of $3,200.00 in
scholarships for the 2007-2008 scholastic year. The TMCC Fund had grown to $83,842.27, with a total
of $6,215.00 in scholarships. A percent of the interest earned by the Endowed Funds is paid out in
scholarships; the balance is invested in growth. In 2006-2007, the TMCC Endowment gave 8
scholarships: 1 @ $565.00; 2 @ $650.00; and 5 @ $1,000.00. The Orvis Endowment gave one
$1,000.00 and two $2,200.00 scholarships. Scholarships are based on grades and financial need. As
the Funds grow, with reinvested interest, gifts and annual grants, the number of scholarships will increase.
Decisions on the amount of the Scholarships is made by the scholarship committees at the two schools.
As TMCC’s Past President, Dr. Phillip Ringle, said, “Without endowed funds and generous donors like
AWCMS, Nursing Schools would not have survived through the lean years.” Patsy Ruchala, Dean of
Orvis, said, “We truly appreciate your continued support of our students. Because of people like you, we
are able to provide our students with the resources necessary to enhance their college experience.”
