FHU Student Wins $10,000 Tennessee Nursing Scholarship

FHU student Dominique Michaud was selected to receive the Hospital Alliance of Tennessee Nursing Scholarship in the amount of $10,000. Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA) created this scholarship in partnership with the Hospital Alliance of Tennessee to award an outstanding nursing student seeking to complete their education in preparation for service in a Tennessee nonprofit hospital.

Each of TICUA's member institutions with nursing programs was allowed to nominate one highly qualified student to be considered for this scholarship. "We are proud to name Dominique Michaud as our 2022 TICUA Hospital Association Nursing Scholar," said TICUA President Claude Pressnell. "There were many qualified applicants, and we saw an impressive commitment to the nursing profession from each applicant. As our nonprofit hospitals face a critical nursing shortage, it is an honor to be able to help students on their path to this incredibly important and noble profession."

Michaud, of Oxford, is earning a bachelor of science in nursing and is on track to graduate in May 2024. She has maintained a 4.0-grade point average throughout her academic career while being active in campus organizations and volunteering to help those with mental and developmental disabilities.

Michaud is a certified pharmacy technician, assistant in Disability Services, and American Red Cross Lifeguard, and is certified in First Aid and CPR.
