In 2017, Joseph Nystrom was working his way through college when his life was cut short by a drunk driver. This scholarship is intended to honor his memory by assisting working students as they return to college or remain enrolled in post-secondary education until graduation. The family's purpose in creating the scholarship is to provide funding for adult students who want to finish their college degrees. This scholarship will be awarded for up to 2 years. This scholarship is restricted to students working at least part-time and who have been enrolled in a degree program for at least two semesters in the past three years. Preference will be given to students who have overcome barriers to pursuing post-secondary education, including but not limited to medical barriers. Only students pursuing undergraduate degrees will be eligible. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Triangle Community Foundation for more information.
