Clara Stutzman Scholarship
The Clara Stutzman Scholarship was established in 1999 as a part of the acquisition of Mennonite College of Nursing by Illinois State University. The fund was created out of monies given by Clara Stutzman (1899-1994), a 1923 graduate of the Mennonite School of Nursing. She married Clarence Stutzman in 1936. They had one son, Dr. John C. Stutzman, who is a retired urologist. Clarence died in 1928. Clara married Earl Stutzman in 1934. They had one son, James Stutzman, who died in a farm accident at age 16. Earl died in 1977. The scholarship is awarded to a full-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in Mennonite College of Nursing. The student should demonstrate a spirit of brotherhood, sharing, and servanthood, and should have financial need.
