The fourth annual Sarah Hough Memorial Scholarship Event will be held on Saturday, April 16, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the commons and amphitheater and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. The scholarship fundraising event includes lunch featuring selections from a pasta bar buffet, a large silent auction, and live entertainment by local musicians. The event is organized and hosted by Practical Nursing Program students at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and all proceeds will support the Sarah Hough Memorial Scholarship fund at the college. The event is open to everyone. The cost of the pasta bar lunch is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children ages 6-12, and free for children who are five years old and younger.
The scholarship was established in 2013 as a memorial to Hough, who was a graduate of the Practical Nursing program at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Hough passed away unexpectedly in February 2012 from a sudden illness. Her instructors and class members described Sarah as a compassionate, kind and empathetic person who exemplified the attributes all Nursing students should possess.
The Sarah Hough Memorial Scholarship is awarded through a selection process based on criteria that includes professional promise, enrollment in the Nursing degree program at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, and grade point average. The scholarship can be used toward tuition, books, and academic supplies.
