Philippe Forton Scholarship
“Compassion is an action word with no boundaries.” - Prince
Philippe Forton was a loving and compassionate husband and father. After receiving a heart transplant in 2016, he had many interactions with medical personnel. Philippe passed away in 2022, but having compassionate nurses by his side made a world of difference for him.
The Philippe Forton Scholarship aims to honor Philippe by supporting high school seniors pursuing nursing in post-secondary education.
High school seniors pursuing a degree in nursing may apply.
To apply, please respond to the essay topic below.
Please write about a situation you are personally aware of involving someone treating another person compassionately. Maybe you were the one who gave compassion; perhaps you received compassion; maybe you witnessed compassionate interaction. This could be about, but is not limited to, medical situations. Also, describe how the situation affected you.
