Braden Lee Small Memorial Scholarship
Recipient must be a fully enrolled junior or senior undergraduate student or graduate student in good academic standing, with a declared STEM, nursing, physician assistant or medicine MD program. This scholarship is awarded in memory of Braden Lee Small who attended FSU and had an untimely death in his last semester of his senior year due to a rare medical condition Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). He planned to use information technology to improve the medical field. This scholarship is being awarded by his family in his loving memory. One of the hopes of this scholarship is for the recipient to use his/her degree to provide care, cures, rehabilitation, and healing in the medical field through direct care or technology.
Any student may apply to be considered for the award; however, it is the preference of the donor that the recipient be a citizen of the United States and also be a Florida Resident.
