John Batsios Memorial Nursing Scholarship

John Batsios Memorial Nursing Scholarship

This scholarship was created in 2023 by family and friends in memory of John Batsios. John attended HVCC while serving in the New York National Guard. He graduated from Hudson Valley in 2016 with an associate’s degree in Nursing. He saved lives working as a traveling registered nurse in many different states.

John enjoyed taking every advantage life offered. He made lasting friendships with humans and animals alike, wherever his adventures took him. He embraced everyone and everything with a passion and an excitement that was contagious. The family feels blessed to have had such a loving, caring, funny son and brother in their lives.
