West Palm Beach May 2026

M AY 2 0 2 6 | W E S T PA L M B E A C H 7 As Palm Beach North continues to grow, the importance of this work will only increase. The future of our community will be shaped by the people we invest in today. What began with a single act of belief has grown into a shared commitment. One that continues to create opportunity and strengthen our region with every student it supports. To learn more or to be part of this work, visit pbnedfoundation.org. After her brother was involved in a serious car accident that left him with severe brain trauma, her family’s life changed almost overnight. Medical challenges quickly became financial and emotional ones. Her grandparents moved into the home, and daily life shifted to meet new responsibilities. As a high school student, she stepped into a caregiving role while continuing to pursue her education. Despite these challenges, she excelled academically and remained deeply involved in her school community. She founded a club focused on supporting foster children, growing it from a small group into an initiative that reached more than 100 children across Palm Beach County. Through these experiences, she discovered her path. She plans to pursue a career in neurology, driven by a personal understanding of the impact that care and treatment can have on families. This is the kind of student the Foundation is designed to support. Students who demonstrate resilience, leadership, and a clear sense of purpose. This year, the Foundation will award four full-ride scholarships, along with three additional scholarships supporting students pursuing two-year degrees. These opportunities do more than provide financial assistance. They expand what is possible. Because when students like her are supported, the impact extends beyond the classroom. It carries into the workforce, into our healthcare system, and into the broader community. The Palm Beach North Education Foundation was never intended to be just a scholarship program. It serves as a bridge between education and opportunity, helping ensure that students can see and pursue a future for themselves right here in our region.
