PURPOSE OF SCHOLARSHIP:
Anna Pearl Sherrick founded the Montana State University - Bozeman College

unique needs. It is Dr. Sherrick's dedication and foresight which provided
the foundation for the nationally recognized programs of excellence at the
MSU-Bozeman College of Nursing today. In 1989, Dr. Sherrick published a book
