Isabel McIsaac Scholarship

Scholarship

An award sum designated by the NEF Board is given to the master's degree applicant who receives the highest evaluation score. Isabel McIssac was the first chairman of the original memorial fund created in Isabel Hampton Robb’s name. From 1915-1954 two funds, the Isabel Hampton Robb Fund and the Isabel McIssac Memorial Fund, were administered by the Isabel Hampton Robb Memorial Fund Committee. In 1954 with the addition of a third fund the name of the committee was changed to Nurses Educational Funds, Inc.
