The Katherine Wilson Scholarship Fund is a lasting tribute to Katherine Wilson, BSN ’04, who overcame great obstacles to earn her nursing degree before losing a tragic five-year battle with cancer at age 28. Based upon the wishes of Katherine and her family, the scholarship is awarded to a student (or students) who exemplifies meritorious academic achievement, who desires to pursue a nursing career in end-of-life issues or oncology and who has overcome a significant obstacle in his or her life.
