About The Maggie Artis Hucks Nursing Scholarship Foundation
Maggie Artis Hucks was born in North Carolina in 1934 and grew up in the rural areas of the state. From an early age, she worked tirelessly to support her family, laboring in tobacco fields, factories, and childcare. Despite the challenges she faced, Maggie always held a deep passion for nursing and dreamed of becoming a nurse. However, due to the circumstances of the time, she was unable to pursue her aspiration.
Though Maggie was never able to fulfill her dream, her passion for nursing lived on through her oldest granddaughter, who carried her legacy forward in the healthcare field. Inspired by Maggie’s resilience and dedication, The Maggie Artis Hucks Nursing Scholarship Foundation was established to honor her memory and support future generations of nurses.
This foundation is committed to providing financial assistance to deserving nursing students, helping them cover the costs of tuition, textbooks, and exam preparation. By empowering aspiring nurses, we aim to remove financial barriers and ensure that Maggie’s legacy continues to inspire and uplift those pursuing careers in healthcare.
Join us in making a difference—supporting students, honoring Maggie’s dream, and shaping the future of nursing.
