Jim Cassella of Canton, a longtime supporter of KSU's Wellstar School of Nursing (WSON), has donated $20,000 to complete his $30,000 pledge toward a $30,000/$20,000 matching nursing scholarship through the Jayne Cassella Foundation, started in memory of his late wife. KSU Foundation matched Jim's contribution to create a $50,000 endowed nursing scholarship.
This is Jim's second endowed nursing scholarship at WSON. The first, the Gianna Limonciello Nursing Scholarship, was created to honor the KSU alumna nurse who cared for his wife Jayne during her final year battling cancer.
