💚Dr. Susan Self Memorial Scholarship💛

"She taught us far more about what it means to be a nurse than any textbook ever could."

Colleagues, friends and students of the late Dr. Susan Self have established a scholarship for Arkansas Tech University nursing students in her memory.

The Dr. Susan Self Memorial Scholarship will be offered through the ATU Foundation.

Dr. Self began her association with the ATU Department of Nursing in 2008 as an adjunct clinical instructor. She became a full-time member of the ATU Department of Nursing faculty in 2012 and attained the rank of associate professor of nursing before stepping down for health reasons in 2025. She passed away on Jan. 12, 2026.
