Cecil College nursing student recipient of Dunkin’ Scholarship

NORTH EAST, Md: Stephanie Hutchison Maahs, a dedicated Nursing student at Cecil College, has been selected as a recipient of a $2,500 scholarship from the Dunkin’ Baltimore/Metro DC Regional Scholarship Program. A resident of Middletown, Delaware, Stephanie is one of up to 50 students across the region recognized this year for academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement.

Ms. Maahs first learned about the opportunity through an email from Cecil College's Director of Student Life, Cheryl Davis-Robinson, which included a link to the application. Encouraged to apply, Ms. Maahs shared how this scholarship will ease the financial burden of nursing school, especially as she prepares to leave her job to complete her intensive clinical training.

Ms. Maahs chose Cecil College on the strong recommendation of her manager Anita Witzke, MDN, RN, NE-BC, the Director of Patient Care Services at Bayhealth Medical Center – Kent Campus, who spoke highly of the college’s nursing program. Now enrolled and working toward her nursing degree, Ms. Maahs is on a path to achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse and serving her community.

At the scholarship award event, hosted by Dunkin’, Ms. Maahs was thrilled by the recognition. “The event was AMAZING! Everything was so nice. It felt really good to be recognized for our hard work,” she said.

The Dunkin’ Baltimore/Metro DC Regional Scholarship Program was created to support students in the region by easing the financial challenges of higher education. Sponsored by Dunkin’ and its franchisees, scholarships are awarded to current undergraduates and high school seniors who live and/or attend school in the Baltimore/DC metro area, with selections based on academic performance, leadership, work experience, and commitment to education.

With the support of this scholarship, Ms. Maahs is one step closer to becoming a nurse, and making a difference in the lives of others.
