Honoring a Trailblazer in Nursing and Paving the Way for Future Generations
At the core of our pursuit of education, compassion, and empowerment, we are thrilled to announce a scholarship that transcends boundaries and echoes the legacy of an extraordinary soul – the Delpha J Lowe Memorial Scholarship. This initiative is a heartfelt tribute to a pioneering nurse and trailblazing entrepreneur whose impact reached far beyond the walls of a hospital.
Remembering Delpha J Lowe:
Delpha J Lowe was a beacon of inspiration, embarking on a remarkable journey from the serene landscapes of Portland, Jamaica, to become the first black nurse in the cardiology department at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Her passion for academic excellence and nursing has left an indelible mark on the healthcare community, and her legacy is a testament to the power of dedication and compassion in the field.
The Heart Behind the Scholarship:
Established by Delpha's devoted daughters, Lashana and Jaé Robinson, the Delpha J Lowe Memorial Scholarship is more than a financial aid program—it's a living testament to their mother's commitment to healthcare and education. This scholarship aims to support underprivileged women pursuing nursing studies in North America and the Caribbean, mirroring Delpha's own journey from Jamaica to the United States at the tender age of fifteen.
A Philanthropic Spirit:
Delpha's impressive 35-year career as a critical care nurse, coupled with her historic role at Holy Cross Hospital, is a powerful inspiration. In her honor, this scholarship manifests a philanthropic spirit that seeks to invest in the next generation of nursing professionals. The aim is to ease financial burdens and nurture a legacy of compassion and excellence in nursing.
Launching at PEARLS for Jamaica 2024:
The Delpha J Lowe Memorial Scholarship Program will officially launch at the Pearls for Jamaica 2024 initiative on January 13, a poignant moment celebrating a life well-lived and a commitment to continue Delpha's legacy of care and dedication. Scholarship applications are due on January 6, 2024. This date holds a special significance, as it marks what would have been Delpha's first heavenly birthday.
