Jade, a student from the Hospital School Program at Multnomah Education Service District, received the Suzanne Memorial Scholarship at the Northwest Kidney Kids Gatsby Gala celebration in Portland on May 4. The award is for $2500.
Jade attends Fresenius Kidney Care clinic three days a week for dialysis treatment and is in search of a kidney transplant.
"She had to write three short essays to apply, which we did together while she was at dialysis," Hayley Duncan, a teacher from the Hospital School Program stated via email. "She plans to get an internship, then take some college classes toward a degree after she graduates from high school this June."
