Junelle Balagtas

The Degen Foundation welcomes Ms. Junelle Balagtas of Barling, AR, to our scholarship program.  She is in her senior year and received a $2000.00 scholarship that will go towards her BSN at UAFS for the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. She will graduate in December 2023 and wants to be a Labor/Delivery nurse or an NICU nurse after graduation. This busy young woman works two jobs in addition to volunteering, gardening, cooking and hanging out with friends and family. We hope to see her smiling face at one of our local hospitals in 2024.
