Maudie Mary Finney Memorial ScholarshipDetails:
Maudie Mary Finney was born in Seneth, Missouri. She passed away April 6, 2009 in McAllen, Texas. Maudie grew up on her family’s farm in Hornersville, Missouri, helping with the chores and working in the fields. She really did walk three miles to school in the snow. After high school, she attended the Baptist School of Nursing, Memphis, Tennessee, where she received her Registered Nurse degree. She began her nursing career in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It was there that she met her future husband. They moved to McAllen in 1937. Maudie worked as a Public Health nurse serving the rural areas of Hidalgo County. She continued her nursing profession at McAllen Municipal Hospital serving as Assistant Director of Nurses and then Director of Nurses, combining her administrative duties while maintaining patient contact and nursing care. Her goal each day was to visit all of the patients in the hospital. She was instrumental in starting the LVN program at the McAllen Municipal Hospital. Maudie moved into school nursing with McAllen Independent School District. She ended her career as the District’s Director of Health Services and retired in 1977. This synopsis does not even scratch the surface of Maudie’s dedication to nursing, her experiences in nursing or her dedication to the education of others in the profession of nursing. |

Over Award Policy
Federal and state regulations mandate that a student’s total financial aid package (grants and other resources) cannot exceed the student’s financial need. Financial need is defined as Cost of Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution (EFC calculated by your FAFSA). Once a student has been selected as a scholarship Recipient, the office of Student Financial Services must ensure that the student is not over awarded. An overaward occurs when the student’s financial aid package exceeds his or her financial need.
