The aParent Miracles Foundation is proud to present "The Carolyn Smith Tall Nursing Scholarship" to support nursing students, who identify as a single custodial parent or were raised in a single parent household, on their journey into healthcare.

Carolyn Smith Tall was a Howard School of Nursing Class of 1953 graduate and active member of Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority. As a tireless advocate for all parents, families, and children, as well as the profession of nursing, Carolyn Smith served her beloved community as an emergency room nurse, psychiatric ward nurse, and geriatric care nurse. She became one of the first African-American Head Nurses in Cleveland Ohio and a college professor of emergency medicine technicians. Carolyn Louise Smith’s dedication and selfless service to parents, children, the nursing profession, and those in need are the inspirations for this scholarship.

This award is intended to provide financial support to a Howard University School of Nursing student who identifies as a single custodial parent or who was raised in a single parent household.

Through this award, nursing students will receive financial support that will cover the costs of books, nursing board exam (NCLEX) review study materials, and state nursing licensure application/license fees.
