About
In 2017, Don and Sally Chester established the Pollyanna Nursing Scholarship in honor of Don’s beloved service dog, Pollyanna, also known as Polly, to support PBA nursing students at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral level.
Polly was a yellow Labrador Retriever trained to assist Chester through many of his day-to-day needs. Polly was not only of service to Chester, but he was a part of the family and was well-liked by everyone she met.
The Pollyanna Scholarship is offered to a PBA nursing student who demonstrates commitment to the profession of nursing as well as obtains a record of community service.
