The Department of Nursing awards the Bruce and Linda Myers Nursing Scholarship on behalf of the Myers family. Bruce and Linda Myers were owners of Myers Funeral Homes in Huntington and Markle. During their 25 years in business, they developed close ties with the people of Huntington and Wells Counties and with Huntington University, where Bruce served on the Huntington University Foundation Board and the Fine Arts Council. Linda was a registered nurse with 30 years of medical-surgical and critical care experience. Their professional and personal lives were founded on a deep faith in and love for their Savior, Jesus Christ.

Their desire in giving the scholarship was twofold: to support the mission of Huntington University and the Department of Nursing and to aid serious students of the nursing field in achieving their educational goals by providing financial assistance. Criteria to receive this scholarship include being a current junior nursing major or sophomore accepted into the program, GPA, an essay and demonstrated financial need.

The Huntington University Nursing Scholarship was established to provide encouragement and financial support to students at Huntington University in the nursing program. Criteria include being a sophomore enrolled full-time and GPA.

The Jim & Gloria Wilson Nursing Award was established by Jim and Gloria Wilson to encourage Huntington County students to attend Huntington University. Jim Wilson taught economics and finance at Huntington University (then College) in addition to serving as head baseball coach for 13 years. He was on the Huntington University Foundation Board for 40 years. Criteria for the Wilson Nursing Award include enrollment in the nursing program, Huntington County resident status, demonstrated financial need, GPA and selection by the Department of Nursing faculty.

The Winter Nursing Scholarship criteria include being a sophomore enrolled full-time, GPA, and commitment to HU and Department of Nursing standards.
