In our ongoing series to highlight 2025-2026 scholarship recipients, this week we are proud to feature Janet Minarik. Janet’s journey as a nontraditional student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Davenport University reflects her unwavering passion for healthcare and service.

With over 25 years of experience in the field, she has long aspired to advance her education—dreams that are now coming to fruition thanks to her dedication and perseverance. Her focus on case management underscores her desire to help patients navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, especially the elderly and those living with chronic conditions, who often face the greatest challenges.

Receiving the Alpha Sigma Lambda scholarship is a meaningful milestone for Janet, symbolizing her hard work and the pursuit of her calling. She views this achievement not only as personal growth but as a stepping stone toward making a profound difference in the lives of her patients and their families. Her story embodies the true spirit of lifelong learning, compassion, and service.

Janet is committed to transforming her experience and education into compassionate, effective care—believing that every patient deserves dignity, understanding, and support. Her journey inspires us all to continue striving toward our goals with purpose and heart.
