DeVillier Scholarship awarded
August 24, 2004
CARROLLTON,
GA - The DeVillier Family Trust Fund Scholarship at the University of West Georgia was awarded to Heather Edwards (center) of Douglasville.
Dr. J. Lincoln DeVillier and Dr. Kathryn Grams, chair of the UWG Nursing
Department, congratulate Edwards on her selection for the scholarship.
This scholarship was established in 1995 and is awarded annually to nursing
students. DeVillier and his wife Mary Anne, both former UWG professors,
established the fund to express their gratitude to the military nurses
of World War II for their care of the wounded and sick. The fund also
serves to honor the heroic efforts of military nurses and to ensure there
will be future “angels of mercy.”
