SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT
Tramuto Porter Compassionate Leadership restricted SCHOLARSHIP
During the 2022 Commencement ceremony, renowned health care and social justice activist, philanthropist, and author Donato J. Tramuto announced the formation of the Tramuto Porter Compassionate Leadership Scholarship that will be awarded each year to a Regis student in the Young School of Nursing. The scholarship is awarded to a student who shows compassionate leadership during their time at Regis through their academics or a leadership role on campus.
The first Tramuto Porter Compassionate Leadership Scholarship was awarded in spring 2023 to nursing major Bryan De Souza ’25, a first-generation student from Everett, Massachusetts. 
'I am passionate about mental health and erasing the stigma, especially in communities of color like where I grew up, “ says De Souza. 'I have dreams of becoming a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who incorporates hip-hop into his practice, and I know Regis and my Compassionate Leadership Scholarship will help me achieve that.”
"My dad immigrated to the United States when he was 14 years old, and his goal was to break generational curses and search for a better future for our generation," shared De Souza. "The generous support from Regis donors makes it possible for not only my dreams to come true, but more importantly, my dad’s.
