Last month, Carl Sandburg College in Galesburg was awarded its second Nursing School Grant from the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
The nearly $100,000 will pay for cameras and microphones for Sandburg's new Science and Technology Center. It'll also pay for student nursing exam and "end-of-program" fees.
At Black Hawk College in Moline, a $250,000 contribution will create a new endowment for nursing scholarships.
Before he died last year, alumnus Stanley Anderberg decided to create the endowment to honor his late husband, James Cobin, a graduate of the Black Hawk nursing program. Cobin died six years ago. It'll be called the "James Cobin Class of 1976 Endowed Scholarship."
