The Edna W. Wyatt Scholarship Endowment was created by Mr. and Mrs. G. Edward Wyatt Jr. in memory of Ed’s mother, a 1930 alumna of Beebe School of Nursing. It is awarded to a second-semester, first-year student and/or a senior student who has demonstrated continued academic excellence and has a need for tuition assistance. The scholarship is managed through Beebe Medical Foundation.

The diploma in professional nursing is awarded at the completion of the curriculum, qualifying graduates to be eligible for National Council of State Boards of Nursing NCLEX examination, leading to licensure as a registered nurse. Beebe graduates consistently have the highest NCLEX pass rates in the state.
