Claire Hill is the daughter of Laurin and Sheri Hill
and has chosen to study at Bradley University in Peoria. Her goal is
to pursue a masters in nursing after completing her BSN degree, and
serve others as a nurse practitioner.
The scholarship, given in memory of Arthur B. Blaum and Iva Mae
Blaum, is earmarked for Logan County students who are majoring in
nursing or agriculture. It may be renewed up to eight undergraduate
semesters, as long as the student maintains a B cumulative grade
point average and remains committed to his or her initial field of
study.
Iva Mae Blaum was a graduate of Deaconess Hospital of Lincoln and
retired from Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in 1985 after 46
years of service as a surgery supervisor and director of nursing.
Her husband was a lifelong farmer in the New Holland area.
Mrs. Blaum passed in August 2015 and the first scholarship was
presented in 2016. Since then Kamryn Aylesworth, Lukas Aylesworth,
Cierra Crowell, Jacob Kirgan, Maggie Anderson, Molly Schempp and
Madison Thomas have received scholarships for agriculture. Emma
O’Donoghue, Grace Skelton and Lauren Turner have received
scholarships to study nursing. Per the terms of Mrs. Blaum’s will,
the trust should continue to award scholarships until 2035.
State Bank of Lincoln is the trustee of the Iva Mae Blaum Trust.
Heartland Bank and Trust Company provides wealth management and
trust administration services on behalf of the State Bank of
Lincoln.
