This scholarship was established by Barbara Given, a College of Nursing University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, to honor the lives of her parents, Gilbert and Leona Schumann. It was Gilbert Schumann, who died on April 18, 1993, who inspired the creation of this scholarship. Gilbert was a farmer, husband, loving father and grandfather. Leona Schumann died on September 23, 2007, after several years of declining mobility. She had a long life as a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Gilbert’s long battle with ill health raised concerns with Leona and their children about the adequacy of care that the elderly receive. It is for this reason that the Gilbert and Leona Schumann Scholarship will always be awarded to nursing students who exhibit a commitment to the care of elderly.
