Ursula's Promise Memorial Scholarship Fund

09/10/2026

Today marks four years since the world lost a truly remarkable soul, and my great sister, Ursula.

Not a single day goes by where she isn’t deeply missed. I love and miss her daily.

Ursula wasn’t perfect, but she was genuinely great. It was just her nature to love, to give, and to be incredibly kind. Her main focus in life was making sure that everyone who crossed her path was doing okay.

To keep her beautiful legacy alive, I created Ursula’s Promise. As I prepare for our fourth scholarship cycle, I find myself reflecting on just how wonderful she was.

Building this foundation wouldn't be possible alone. I am incredibly grateful to be supported by a wonderful team of people, including our dedicated Board Members and Scholarship Committee members, who help keep Ursula's mission going strong.

To all the students we are able to support through Ursula’s Promise: we hope you appreciate this opportunity as much as we appreciated the opportunity to provide it to you.

Your light continues to shine through this work.

🕊️❤️
