Black River Technical College (BRTC) has awarded Ava Newton of Marmaduke the Leave A Legacy Scholarship.
Newton is a 2025 graduate of Marmaduke High School and is seeking a degree in nursing. She is the daughter of Sarah and Easton Newton.
The Leave A Legacy Scholarship was founded by the May 2015 Practical Nursing class, who had a goal to leave a legacy for the future nursing students at BRTC. They saw the financial hardships nursing students face during the last semester of the nursing program due to licensure fees, and decided to form the scholarship to help offset the cost of the fees. Each graduating class has continued the legacy through fundraising activities and continued donations to the scholarship.
Congratulations, Ava!
