Floyd and Katherine Miles

The purpose of the Whitney Young Outreach Gerontological Nursing Scholarship is to honor the dedication of its founding Board President, Kathy Miles, and its original Board Members: Mr. Floyd Miles, Mr. Delbert Crowe, and tenured member Mr. Christopher Wilks. Mrs. Miles had worked in the field of low to moderate income housing for more than forty years. It is the hope of the board that the monies available for this scholarship will encourage and enable promising students the financial backing to engage in their studies while pursuing a degree in Geriatric Nursing. The donors want to provide an opportunity and pathway for students from challenging socioeconomic backgrounds to advance their education.
