Katie R. Gieseler ’15 Memorial Scholarship

Katie graduated from Suffolk County Community College in 2015 after completing the nursing program. Katie attended Pace University where she earned her BA in Biology in 2010. She went on to work in the medical field as a nurse working at Woodhaven Nursing Home and had a passion for the work that she did. Katie left us too soon in April of 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic at 31 years of age. This scholarship was established by her parents, Eileen & John Gieseler, in hopes that other nursing students attending SCCC can carry on Katie’s legacy, while being able to make their education more affordable and to show students to never let obstacles hold you back while pursuing your goals.
