Our story…

It is with the continual support of our donors that the Laurie Melchionda Foundation is proud to instate the Laurie Melchionda Endowed Scholarship Fund and Annual Scholarship at her alma mater, UMass Boston. Laurie graduated class of 1984 from UMass Boston Nursing program, as president of her nursing class.

The purpose of the Annual Laurie Melchionda Scholarship is to provide support to one or more undergraduate and/or graduate student(s) in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences who have unmet financial need. Preference will be given to students who are returning to their education after a cumulative gap of two or more years in higher education, making a career change to nursing, and/or are seeking a graduate degree to advance their nursing career.

The scholarship will be a perpetual tribute to Laurie’s devotion to her community and the children for whom she cared at Boston Children’s Hospital, in the Braintree and Weston Public school systems, and as a member of the Braintree and Weston Board of Health.  It is a testament to a working mom and the values she instilled in pursuing higher education.
