Scholarship
The Mason Mileham Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the many nursing professionals that navigated Mason’s journey with passion and purpose. Mason encountered countless nurses during his brave battle with Neuroblastoma and they were always committed to maintaining his health and well-being. As a family we quickly learned that nurses are the hands-on, foundational, and critical part of the healthcare field.
The purpose of this scholarship is to inspire deserving applicants to pursue studies in the field of nursing and encourage them to work in their community with dedication, devotion, compassion and kindness.
