The Helen J. Bone Scholarship

 

 

In 1997, Donations from William J. Bone, Class of 1950, made it possible for students to attend Eastern Arizona College in memory of Helen Johnson Bone. Helen was very active in her community as well as a great supporter of Eastern Arizona College. She was officially designated by the EAC Alumni Association as an Honorary Alumnus.

This scholarship seeks to help women who have been out of the workforce, but now need education and skills to provide for their families.

Thank You Messages 

Here are some thank you messages from many of these students.

"Because of your generosity and thoughtfulness in granting me this scholarship, I will be able to go back to school, which is something I had started to believe may never happen... I was finally able to escape and file for divorce and am now trying to figure out how I will support myself and my children without any real experience needed for a sustainable living...It means everything and I cannot thank you enough! So once again, thank you for everything."

"I am beyond grateful for all the financial help with trying to reach my educational goals. This will help take a load of financial difficulty off me. Thanks to all involved with this process so I will soon be able to acheive my dream of becoming a registered nurse."
