The Karolyn Kolb Martinez Excellence in Nursing" Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Karolyn Kolb Martinez, a registered nurse for 32 years. Karolyn's family honors her legacy by providing scholarships to nursing students who display the same high standards for nursing excellence, care, and compassion she demonstrated. Graduating high school students of Bandera, Blanco, Edwards, Gillespie, Kendall, Kerr, Kimble, Mason, Real, and Uvalde counties who are pursuing a nursing degree, or current nursing students enrolled at Schreiner University or Alamo Colleges are eligible to apply. Applicants must be seeking an Associate Degree in Nursing, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing, and/or enrolled in a LVN or RN nursing program. Applicants can reapply for 3 consecutive years. A letter outlining continued need and qualification, as well as a transcript from the prior year are required. Applicants reapplying will be considered along with other qualified applicants. Selection preference is based on academic performance and honors, as well as financial need. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country for more information.
