The Howley Foundation

Congratulations to the 2025 graduates from the Howley ASPIRE Nurse Scholars program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania!
During the final Senior Enrichment Session before graduation, students shared their exciting next steps and celebrated this milestone together with a special group photo on the hospital helipad.
We are so proud of all they have accomplished and can’t wait to see the impact they will make in the future of healthcare.

Our time at Neumann University felt grounded and personal. Howley College Scholars sat down with Kriste Duhigg, University President Chris Domes, and Director of Undergraduate Admissions Brian O'Doherty for a conversation that went beyond introductions. Thank you to the Neumann team for making time for this interaction.

College is where perspective sharpens and that was on full display at Immaculata University. Our Howley Scholars engaged in honest conversation with Kriste Duhigg, sharing how they’re navigating college life and where they’re headed next. We’re grateful to Immaculata University and President Barbara Lettiere for making space for these meaningful exchanges.

We’re proud to celebrate Ka’Mara Stewart ’26, a Howley Scholar at Saint Martin de Porres High School, who has been awarded the prestigious, merit-based Posse Scholarship. This full-tuition scholarship recognizes exceptional leadership and academic excellence and will support Ka’Mara as she attends Rhodes College this fall.

Ka’Mara becomes the second Howley Scholar from Saint Martin de Porres to earn this honor, joining Robert Whipple ’25, also a Howley Scholar and the school’s first-ever Posse Scholar. Her achievement reflects a strong commitment to leadership and balance, serving as a Student Ambassador, participating in the ASPIRE Nursing Program, staying active in drumline, and maintaining excellent academic performance.

Congratulations, Ka’Mara! We’re excited to see what’s ahead.
