— Ozioma Julieth Abah
Degree program: BSN, University of Washington
Scholarship: Central Washington Regional Nurses Association scholarship, administered by WSNF
Award year: 2026
Ozioma was born in rural Nigeria, and her passion for care was born from watching her neighbors, friends, and family suffer unnecessarily due to delayed or inaccurate care. Ozioma lost her own father due to a misdiagnosis and committed herself to providing care for marginalized communities.
Ozioma has demonstrated courage and commitment, from her work as a health officer during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to working as a CNA while pursuing her degree and volunteering with seniors in long-term care. We are proud to recognize Ozioma with a 2026 WSNF scholarship.
