KENDALLVILLE, Ind. – Northeastern Center has awarded the 2025 Jane George Scholarship to Leah Kathary, a recent graduate of West Noble High School.
The $750 scholarship is in memory of Jane George, a nurse case manager who worked at Northeastern Center for more than seven years before passing away from cancer in October of 2002. The award is given annually to a student planning a future career in mental health.
In the fall, Kathary plans to attend Wayne State University and pursue a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Ultimately, she hopes to become a therapist.
In her essay, Kathary wrote, “I want to do everything in my power to help people who are not capable of helping themselves. I want to show people that there are options for them and that they do have a future in this world.”
