Nursing Science program. Growing up in Kainji town in Niger State, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen healthcare struggles firsthand, this has shown me nurses\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 impact. This drives me to provide compassionate care and improve lives.<br \/>\nI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve worked hard academically, earning good grades, preparing me for nursing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s challenges. I&#8217;ve also volunteered at some of my church local outreaches showing my commitment. However, my family\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s limited income makes the university unaffordable without help.<br \/>\nSterling\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mission to empower Nigerians through education inspires me. As a young woman, I want to contribute to healthcare by serving rural communities. This scholarship will let me focus on learning and growing into a skilled nurse. I humbly ask for Sterling\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s support and voters\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 backing to achieve my dream of making a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cohorts":[25],"class_list":["post-20134","nominees","type-nominees","status-publish","hentry","cohorts-2a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nominees\/20134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nominees"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nominees"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cohorts","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cohorts?post=20134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
