Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center nurse Nicole Reyes was recently surprised with a $2,500 Back to School Scholarship to Western Governors University. The scholarship is open to new students enrolling in any of the more than 60 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs offered at WGU — in business, information technology, education and health professions.

Reyes resides in Belvidere and is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-to-BSN) from WGU. She was virtually presented with the scholarship on December 30 by WGU Strategic Partnerships Manager Joe DeJohns.
