Rosella Isbell

Rosella Isbell of Bowling Green made two $50,000 gifts to create scholarship funds that will provide awards to students in perpetuity.

One gift created the Calvin M. and Rosella Spivey Isbell Scholarship Fund for the WKU Department of Nursing and the other created the Calvin M. and Rosella Spivey Isbell Alumni Leadership Scholarships. Mr. Isbell, an alumnus of the Bowling Green Business University, passed away in 1997.

"Calvin and I became interested in the nursing profession many years ago when we had a niece who entered school to become a nurse. We have always wanted to do something to support worthy students pursuing a nursing career. I am also pleased that we can provide support for the Alumni Leadership Scholarship program. This program is grooming fine young students to become outstanding leaders."
