Isabella Bollin, who also plans to attend Florida State University in the fall to study biology, shared her excitement and gratitude.
“When I learned I was chosen as a recipient for the Patricia Frist Memorial Scholarship, I was getting my hair done for prom and I screamed from excitement! This scholarship has come as a huge blessing for me and my family, and I am so grateful that you saw my potential and decided to choose me,” she said.
“Although I look forward to attending FSU in the fall, the financial burden of college was becoming a huge worry for my parents and this money will help alleviate any financial strain on my parents who have worked so hard to allow me the chance at an education,” she said. “Words cannot fully express how delighted I am to receive this scholarship. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
Named in honor of Patricia Frist, a beloved philanthropist and advocate for education, the scholarship program was established to support the children of HCA Healthcare colleagues in their pursuit of higher education. Merit-based scholarships up to $6,000 each are awarded annually based on academic performance, leadership, community service, and financial need.
Since its inception, the program has helped thousands of students across the country achieve their educational goals. Scholarship recipients may use the funds toward tuition, books, and other academic expenses.
