Through the generous support of Nicole’s family, friends, colleagues, teachers, classmates, and other donors, an endowed scholarship in Nicole’s name was established and this year on May 20th, 2022, the Empathy is the Remedy Foundation was able to award its first recipient, Brittany Kester, at the 37th annual IVC Scholarship Awards Ceremony. Due to the pandemic, awarding processes and ceremonies were halted but were reinstated this year and will continue to be awarded from here on out.
