- About this Scholarship: The Lee V. Reyburn Memorial Scholarship was established in 2020 by Katherine Abdun-Nur. “Mr. Lee Reyburn saw potential in me when I was a young woman with very limited resources. He generously funded my nursing school tuition, giving me the ability to participate in meaningful work and support my children. My nursing career has spanned the critical care and emergency departments; I have served in medical missions to impoverished countries and worked in the maternal-child/lactation field. It is a privilege to assist others along the way.”
