Brittany Liljenquist has been awarded the Barry L. Carr, MD,  Memorial Scholarship   for 2014, with funds being distributed to UND on her behalf for the Spring Semester of 2015.  Dr  Carr's family established the scholarship in his memory and has been actively involved in the scholarship award  screening  process since its inception.  The family has now requested that the scholarship award process and selection be administered by the Griggs County Central Chapter of Dollars for Scholars  through  the Barry L Carr Memorial Pass Through Scholarship. 

 Their scholarship  provides an award of $500  to be given annually to an individual who intends to enter the medical field or who is currently in the medical field.  The scholarship opportunity is available  and open to current or former graduates of Griggs County Central or to individuals in the area who may currently be working in the field of medicine, but are seeking to further their education in order to advance their career in the medical field.

Brittany is enrolled at UND as a pre-nursing student.  She has worked at the Griggs County Care Center Nursing  Home; is working at the Parkwood Place Assisted Living Facility in Grand Forks; and also works in a medical surgical unit in addition to her studies at UND.
