Sarah Rainey Selected as March Scholars Day Full-Tuition Scholarship Recipient

Rainey plans to major in nursing

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Huntington University is proud to name Sarah Rainey of Huntington as the recipient of the full‑tuition scholarship from the March 31, 2026, HU Scholars Day competition.

The HU Scholars Day competition highlights high-achieving academic students and offers participants the opportunity to engage with the Honors Program on campus.

Rainey plans to major in nursing at HU.

“It is with great pleasure that I share that through Sarah’s exceptional academic achievement and dedication to learning, she has been recognized as a Huntington Scholar and full‑tuition scholarship recipient, reflecting her strong commitment to academic excellence and purposeful learning,” said Susie Carr, vice president for enrollment management and marketing.

Rainey cites her leadership as a key factor in the competition. She encourages future participants to use the gifts God has given them and to be confident in their identity as a child of God.

Since moving to Huntington a few years ago, Rainey has heard only wonderful things about HU and has enjoyed interacting with HU students, faculty and staff at her church.

Rainey looks forward to learning from and interacting with HU’s nursing professors and students.

“I am so grateful to Huntington University for this huge investment in my life!” Rainey said. “I have known that Jesus was leading me toward nursing. I, however, was unaware of how He would provide. I am praying that, through this wonderful gift, I may impact and bless many in my community for the Lord. All glory belongs to Him.”

In her free time, Rainey enjoys running, hiking, knitting and cooking. She is actively involved in her church’s youth group and helps plan and organize fundraisers.
