Monmouth University Scholarship
The Alayna Jayne Foundation has established a yearly $1000 scholarship for a deserving Nursing student entering their upcoming Sophomore year, and who meets the criteria set forth below.
Alayna is currently in her Senior year at Monmouth University. It was in her Sophomore year she faced a cancer relapse. Despite this setback, Alayna remained committed to her education, continuing part-time studies and then summer classes to stay on track with her nursing cohort all while undergoing extensive treatment. This was challenging, but her determination to become a healthcare professional remained unwavering.
It is the Foundation's aim to sustain this scholarship for years to come, contributing to the education and development of aspiring healthcare professionals well into the future.
The $1,000 award will be disbursed consecutively in the recipient's sophomore, to junior, and senior years, provided the student maintains full-time status in Monmouth University's nursing program and meets the minimum GPA requirement. The total award will not exceed $3,000 per student.
