(KLZA)-- A December graduate of Southeast Community College, has been named a 2016 Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Silver Scholar.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team program by recognizing 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze Scholars, and providing nearly $200,000 in scholarships annually.
Shayla Wissler, a graduate of Pawnee City High School, will receive a $1,250 scholarship and a special medallion as a Silver Scholar.
Wissler earned an Associate of Science degree and is now taking pre-health classes at SCC. She plans to put the money toward nursing school this fall.
Wissler says she is pursuing a career in nursing because of an event that happened when she was a teenager.
The death of her father when she was 14 drives her to become a nurse. Wissler says she is determined to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and will go the extra mile to make sure that her patients are receiving the best care possible. She said she will not only care about her patient’s needs, but will make sure that their families and friends are informed about how their family member or friend is doing.”
