2026 Janice M. Gamper Nursing Scholarship

Nomination

About Janice M. Gamper:

In 2003, The Janice Gamper Nursing Scholarship was established at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, formally known as Saint Barnabas Medical Center.

Mrs. Gamper grew up during a time when “women did not have careers”, she was determined to follow her calling. In high school, she was involved in the “Future Nurses Club” and visited different health care environments, exposing her for the first time to the different roles nurses played. The more she experienced, the more her passion grew to become a nurse.

Reflecting on her nursing careers, Mrs. Gamper describes it as “An opportunity that opened many doors and changed my life”.

When asked what advice she would give students considering nursing as a profession she states, “Nursing is a wonderful profession. It will help you care for others and care for your family and yourself. Health care may change, but no matter what, we will always need nurses”.

Be in a matriculated nursing student in an accredited Baccalaureate Degree, Associate Degree, or Diploma Nursing Program

Provide two (2) letters of recommendation-current/past professors or employers
