History

As a first-generation college graduate that has received multiple scholarships for my undergraduate and graduate studies, it has been extremely important for me to reach back and assist the next generation of leaders. The "Gainer Family Excellence Scholarship" was birth from the desire to help students avoid student loan debt. I have been blessed with an amazing career as a Family Nurse Practitioner and a wonderful husband who supports my philanthropic desires. We believe that excellence breeds opportunities, so together we are honored to continue to offer the "Gainer Family Excellence Scholarship".
