Founders "Honor the Veterans" Scholarship
In honor of Veterans Day 2020, two of RMU’s founders, Dr. Michael Skurja, Jr., and Dr. Richard P. Nielsen, made the decision to sponsor founders “honor the veterans” scholarships. These $1,000 scholarships were developed for the student-veterans of RMU to help further their careers in healthcare. We are proud to work with veterans and honor them for serving our country and communities.
