Judy Nelson Memorial (CTE) Scholarship

This scholarship was created in April 1995 by Molly Jungk, 1995 Outstanding Staff Member, through the use of the award stipend. Upon Judy Nelson’s death, a memorial fund was established by Judy’s family, friends, and colleagues. Judy was a dedicated staff member at Scott Community College and always performed her job with the student foremost in mind. She was a caring, nurturing, and encouraging person who went out of her way to be helpful. The award recipient should be the person who most reflects Judy’s memory.
