Awarded: Fall and Spring
In the Spring of 2019, a crowdfunded campaign was started in memory of Jorge Prada. Jorge Prada was an adjunct faculty member at NYU Meyers and he passed away at a young age from colorectal cancer. Prada believed that enrichment activities (conferences, networking) helped young nurses' careers and this scholarship was created to give our nursing students the opportunity to attend conferences or pursue networking opportunities outside the classroom. Funds will be used directly for enrichment activities such as conferences, networking opportunities, and certifications.
