The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton is pleased to announce the establishment of the Conway County Christian Clinic Nursing Scholarship Endowment Fund.  This scholarship was made possible with a generous donation of $47,000 from the Conway County Christian Clinic Board. The Clinic board established the scholarship fund with a portion of the funds that remained after the 501(c)3 was dissolved in 2015.  The intention of the board was to continue to serve the mission of the organization.  Board Secretary Donna Miller said, “The heartbeat of the Board is to continue medical help.  We felt this contribution would best help serve medical needs in Conway and Perry counties”.  (left to right): UACCM Vice Chancellor for Academic Services Diana Arn, UACCM Nursing students, CCCC Board Member John Gibson, UACCM Chancellor Dr. Larry Davis, CCCC Board Members Jerry Bolin, Donna Miller, Ben Queen, Karen Cree, Les Cupp, UACCM Nursing students, UACCM ...
