LIVONIA, Mich..–Zeal Credit Union presented a $2,000 nursing educational award to Salam Jumjum at the 2019 Michigan Nursing Summit. Jumjum, a Henry Ford School of Nursing student pursuing an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS), was presented with the award by Angie Krogol, chief member service experience officer of Zeal Credit Union.
“I am a single parent trying to balance being a full-time student," said Jumjum. "I always love helping anyone who needs help and with this award I will have more time to do so.”
In addition to being a diligent student, Jumjum enjoys participating in the Henry Ford School of Nursing Association volunteering her time to serve as a mentor for freshman students. Jumjum is a mother of three who proudly take delight that their mom is also in school.
Jumjum ultimately hopes to pursue a career as a licensed registered nurse. She plans to use the funds received from Zeal Credit Union to pay for books and a laptop, since one of her classes is online.
“We are thrilled to be helping Salam, a hardworking nursing student reach her goals and dreams,” said Zeal Credit Union’s Angie Krogol. “We cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings for Salam and we are happy to have been a small part of her future.”
