Recognizes nursing students who demonstrate
attributes of Dr. Curran
DeVry Education Group Inc. (NYSE: DV), a global provider of
education services, has funded the Dr. Connie Curran Memorial
Scholarship, a one-year, renewable, merit- and financial need-based
scholarship for eligible students at DeVry Group’s Chamberlain
College of Nursing. Dr. Curran, former board chair of DeVry Group,
passed away on Nov. 10, 2014.
Two annual scholarships of $1,500 each will be awarded to one
freshmen undergraduate student with a minimum of 12 credit hours,
and one beginning graduate student enrolled in a minimum of 6
credit hours.
“Dr. Curran was a great leader and caregiver,” said Daniel
Hamburger, president and CEO of DeVry Group. “She always told
nursing students that they should challenge self-limiting beliefs
about what they can accomplish – that nurses have unlimited
potential. This scholarship will help future nurses realize their
full potential, and carry on Connie’s vision.”
Aside from her responsibilities with DeVry Group, Dr. Curran was
also a member of DePaul University’s board of trustees, as well as
a proud alumna; on the boards of Hospira, Inc., Ann & Robert H.
Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin
Foundation and the National Student Nurses Association; executive
director of C-Change, an advocacy organization based in Washington,
D.C. dedicated to the eradication of cancer; and founded and served
as CEO of Best on Board, a national organization focused on
educating and certifying healthcare trustees, from 2010 until the
time of her death.
