About this scholarship
In memory of Andrew who through his life, work and studies, reminded us of the importance of commitment, compassion, and lending a helping hand. Andrew had a passion for life and everything it had to offer. He shared this passion with those around him and spent many hours encouraging his fellow ACU students to do their best. Andrew’s first love was flying but he showed a deep commitment to the field of nursing, where he knew he could make a difference to the lives of others.
