University of Alberta
Rachael Longridge Memorial Scholarship
Scholarship amount: up to $500 (1 recipient annually)
On December 23rd, 2016, a 4th year nursing student, Rachael Longridge, tragically passed away. Rachael was an outstanding nursing student at the top of her class whose love and commitment to nursing shone as bright as her personality. Her enthusiasm and energy is very well known in the faculty. Rachael faced many challenges during her undergraduate degree, such as losing her father to cancer after a long battle during her third year.
After this happened, she showed up to clinical the next day- an excellent example of her commitment to serving and caring for her patients. Many of Rachael’s colleagues would describe her as talented, intelligent, compassionate, energetic, hard-working and inspiring.
A scholarship of $500 is aimed to be given to a student emulating Racheal’s passion and commitment to nursing as to foster and reward committed, empathetic and motivated nursing students to achieve their goals; and make a difference just as Rachael did in many of her patient’s lives.
