Who Can Apply:
- The Kristina Lash Memorial Scholarship honors the life and legacy of Kristina “Kristy” Lash by supporting students pursuing a career in nursing.
- Nursing was more than Kristy’s profession—it was her calling. Diagnosed with breast cancer at age 48, Kristy hoped to return to the career she loved after treatment. Tragically, her cancer was aggressive and she passed away at the age of 49 after a heroic battle.
- Through this scholarship, we hope to carry forward Kristy’s passion for nursing by easing some of the financial burden for students pursuing this meaningful career. Our hope is to make a difference in the lives of future nurses and the patients they will one day care for, keeping Kristy’s memory and compassion alive through their work.
- This scholarship is open to undergraduate students pursuing a nursing degree who are residents of Ventura or Santa Barbara County, California.
Submission: To apply, students must submit an essay describing their background and what has inspired them to pursue a degree in nursing.
Deadline: April 9, 2027
Amount: $1,405
