"And now she's flying," Treece said. Treece made his statement Wednesday at Columbia College during a celebration and reception for the new Nadria Leeann Wright Memorial Nursing Scholarship, which was unveiled last week on what would have been Wright's 20th birthday. Nadria was 18 when she died on Sept. 13, 2019. A freshman nursing student at Columbia College, she was a passenger in a car when she was struck by a gunshot intended for the driver. Columbia College teamed up with Regional Economic Development Inc. and the Missouri Women's Business Center to offer the scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded for the first time in 2022, assisting nursing majors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher and facing financial hardship. The amount of the endowed scholarship will vary from year to year.
