Natalie Joy Poremski Scholarship
Natalie Joy Poremski was a beloved daughter whose life was far too short.
Natalie passed away from a birth defect called anencephaly, a serious neural tube defect in which a baby is born without some parts of the brain and skull. This condition often results in babies being stillborn or passing within a few hours or days after birth. While Natalie’s mother was offered the choice to abort the pregnancy, she chose to carry the pregnancy to term.
This scholarship aims to honor the short life of Natalie Joy Poremski by supporting students pursuing careers in law, medicine, or political science.
Any Christian, pro-life undergraduate or graduate student who is pursuing higher education in law, medicine, or political science may apply for this scholarship.
