“I really wanted to attend a private, Christian University” recalls Emily. “I wanted to be steered towards Christ and receive an education that spurred from my core belief system.” Emily’s dad has a permanent disability and her mom’s income just barely sustained everyday family expenses. Paying out of pocket for a college experience like that of Bushnell University wasn’t something Emily thought possible. But, thanks to the merit scholarship and a Bushnell grant, Emily’s dream of attending Bushnell was made possible. While attending Bushnell, Emily’s life-calling to practice medicine and live in Africa has been confirmed. Upon graduating, she plans to begin an accelerated nursing program to attain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
