TITUSVILLE — Jess Parrish Medical Foundation (JPMF) is now accepting applications for Karla Foster, RN, Memorial Scholarships.  Applicants must be residents of North Brevard County; accepted into a nursing program; and possess a 3.0 or higher grade point average.  New or currently enrolled nursing students are eligible to apply. 

Two scholarships of more than $1,500 each are being awarded for assistance with tuition, books, supplies or other expenses related to completing the student’s nursing program.

Doug Foster established the scholarship in loving memory of his wife, Karla, tragically killed on Sept. 11, 2006 by a hit-and-run driver.

This scholarship honors Karla and the profession she loved so much, and offers the opportunity to a deserving nursing student to carry on the professionalism, commitment, dedication and loving care that she demonstrated all her life.
