Julie began her career at Carilion as a Registered Nurse, rising through the ranks to become a team leader and most recently, the Nurse Director of the Oncology and Palliative Care Units. More than just a leader, Julie was loyal employee and treasured co-worker, who was cherished for her warmth and compassion. She had an infectious smile that warmed everyone's heart. Julie's dedication to the patients she served will be long remembered.

The Julie Cooper Wright Memorial Nursing Scholarship will be awarded annually to nursing students who are second, third or fourth year students in a BSN program who hold at least a 3.0 grade point average. The scholarship is open to students living in one of the geographic areas served by Carilion Clinic.

Your support of this scholarship will aid students seeking a career in nursing and, in turn, assist the health of our community by providing qualified nursing staff.
