Margaret Ulla (Larson) Donaldson, affectionately known as Peg, was born on a farm outside Vanerborg, Sweden, on September 10, 1926. She arrived in the US at the age of five on November 6, 1931, and settled in Rockford, IL. Peg graduated from East High School in 1945 and earned her nursing degree from the
Swedish American School of Nursing in 1948. In 1949, she married William Donaldson, Jr., and together they had two sons, Jeff and Steve.
Peg worked as a nurse for Dr. Frank Sauer for 36 years and was actively involved in the Women's Circle and Women's Club at Zion Lutheran Church.
Her wish was to create a lasting legacy that would support others in pursuing their nursing education.
Eligibility
Every CFNIL scholarship has a unique intent, often reflecting the background of the donor or person in whose memory the fund was created. CFNIL uses an online "universal" application to ensure the most efficient process; as an applicant, you do not need to predetermine which scholarships you should apply for. Complete ONE application each cycle, and your answers to a series of yes/no and personal background questions automatically match you to every scholarship you are eligible for. Because our scholarships were created to support students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations, we encourage every scholarship seeker (high school graduating seniors and older) to apply!
