To honor Karen's memory, her family established the Karen R. Wright Memorial Scholarship starting with the Northeastern Class of 2021.  

The award should go to a graduating Northeastern senior who plans to attend college and: 
•    Demonstrates kindness, honesty, integrity and unselfishness
•    Would be likely to "pay it forward" - not in monetary value, but in future actions and deeds
•    Likely will be responsible for a large portion of their own college expenses, as Karen was when she earned her degree.
