4 August ICC's Coleman receives Bower-Delta State University Transfer Nursing Scholarship August 4, 2025 By Thomas, Donna S. General 0 Jasmier Coleman of Pontotoc, a 2025 Itawamba Community College graduate, has received the Bower-Delta State University Transfer Nursing Scholarship of $4,000 from the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation. Students studying to become nurses in Mississippi and planning to transfer to Delta State University are eligible to receive the scholarship. This initiative focuses on strengthening Mississippi’s healthcare workforce to ensure healthier communities for generations to come. “The Phi Theta Kappa Foundation is a dynamic partner in our efforts to improve the health of Mississippians,” said Rebecca Cockrell, program director at the Bower Foundation. “Their strategic initiatives help identify students who demonstrate characteristics necessary to succeed in Delta State University’s nursing program. This collaboration maximizes the Bower Foundation’s funding to impact the education and employment of nurses in Mississippi.” Coleman is among three students who have been named Bower Scholars. Each will receive a $4,000 scholarship, renewable up to five semesters. "The Bower-Delta State University Transfer Nursing Scholarship is a vital step toward growing Mississippi’s nursing workforce,” Amanda Karpinski Gorman, interim director of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation said. “By supporting Phi Theta Kappa members on their path to a BSN at Delta State, this scholarship helps ensure our communities have access to skilled, compassionate care for generations to come." The scholarship provided in partnership with the Bower Foundation, Delta State University and Phi Theta Kappa Foundation will help students cover costs of tuition, fees and other educational expenses associated with completing their nursing program. At ICC, Coleman was an Indian Delegate, Orientation Leader, vice president for both the Student Government Association and Women of Excellence and member of the Fashion Tribe, Phi Theta Kappa and Honors College. Her honors included Homecoming Freshman Maid (2023) and Homecoming Queen (2024). Coleman is a graduate of Pontotoc High School. Her other activities include volunteer at churches and nursing homes, tutoring and Trading Post. She is the daughter of Pondesa Moore.
