Applications are now being accepted for the Molly Mae LeBlanc Nursing Education Scholarship and the Molly Mae LeBlanc Professional Conference Scholarship.
Both scholarships are named in memory of Molly Mae LeBlanc, daughter of former Texas Children’s employees Jill and Andy LeBlanc, who passed away at Texas Children’s on May 6, 2017. Prior to birth, Molly was diagnosed with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD). She battled her kidney and liver disease valiantly and spent much time being cared for at Texas Children’s by many different services and members of our health care team.
The purpose of these scholarships is to perpetuate Molly Mae’s memory and recognize nursing staff members (RNs, PCAs) for going above and beyond their required job duties to enhance the quality of life for Texas Children’s patients and their families. Selected scholarship recipients will receive financial assistance in the form of tuition assistance towards attaining a professional nursing degree (BSN or MSN) or financial assistance towards attendance at a professional nursing conference.
