AMAZING ALUMNI MONIQUE MARSHALL

Although Monique Marshall started at CFCC as an EMT student, her education didn’t stop there. Her desire to become a nurse led her to pursue a degree in practical nursing. In 2015, Marshall became a Licensed Practical Nurse and entered the workforce.

As a single mother, Marshall was eager to expand her earning potential to better support her family. She decided to enter CFCC’s accelerated Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse program, but she had exhausted her financial aid. So, she applied for and received scholarships. She is so grateful for the people who took a chance on her, believed in her, and helped her achieve her goals.

Marshall graduated in May 2022. Almost immediately after obtaining her nursing degree, she set up a scholarship at CFCC in the name of her grandmother, Lillian Smith. The scholarship is designed to help other single mothers who are struggling financially. The first scholarship recipient was awarded this past fall. Monique is also starting a nonprofit to help struggling families with children with significant and high-risk needs.
