Fred Hutch Cancer Center supports the following scholarship opportunities for nurses to grow their nursing practice through education and professional development.
Rosemary Ford Future of Oncology Nursing Scholarship
The Rosemary Ford Future of Oncology Nursing Scholarship was established in honor of Rosemary Ford and her 40-year legacy of leadership in oncology clinical nursing. This scholarship is supported by generous contributions from Melissa Matterazzo in remembrance of the nurses who cared for her sister Lesley Robinett during her treatment for cancer, which was the foundation for the gifts her mother set up for the scholarship fund. The scholarship may be used for tuition towards a nursing degree by students interested in pursuing a professional oncology nursing career and for existing Fred Hutch employees seeking a nursing or advanced nursing degree.

Harold and John Steinberg Memorial Nursing Scholarship Fund
The Harold and John Steinberg Memorial Nursing Scholarship Fund was established to recognize exceptional caregiving and patient/family support in oncology nursing at Fred Hutch and University of Washington Medical Center. This scholarship is supported by generous contributions from Howard Steinberg and his family and friends in memory of his father, Harold, and his brother, John. Before his death in 1994, John Steinberg received two bone marrow transplants. Harold had multiple myeloma and passed away in 1981. The scholarship may be used for a nursing-focused oncology conference or for tuition reimbursement toward a nursing degree.
