About the St. David’s Neal Kocurek ScholarshipsDr. Neal Kocurek, the longtime President and CEO of St. David’s
Foundation, was a visionary civic leader who understood our
community and cared about its future. As part of Dr. Kocurek’s
legacy, this memorial scholarship fund was established to take
his vision into the future by awarding college scholarships to
students interested in pursuing health-related careers from
Travis, Hays, Williamson, Bastrop and Caldwell counties.
Since inception, more than 340 students have received St. David’s
Neal Kocurek Scholarships to study medicine, nursing, physical
therapy, biomedical engineering and other health-related careers
in Texas colleges and universities.
Toast of the Town is the fundraising drive for the St. David’s
Neal Kocurek Scholarship Fund, and 100 percent of your gift is used
for students’ educations. St. David’s Foundation Community Fund
will match two-to-one all Toast of the Town contributions, tripling
the dollars awarded to the scholarship fund. Every dollar raised will
result in three dollars towards a scholarship.

“The difficult journey to achieving my
goal of becoming a medical doctor has
been made easier with the help of the
St. David’s Neal Kocurek Scholarship over
the last eight years. I cannot thank you, the
donors, enough for your financial support.
With your aid, I was less worried about
finances, finished college strong, and I am now about to graduate
from medical school. I hope that one day I will be able to give back
to my community as you have. Thank you!”
Teresia Pham, 2008 scholarship recipient in her fourth year at
Texas Tech University Health Science Center School of Medicine
“I will never forget the day I received a
St. David’s Neal Kocurek Scholarship. I was
amazed to know so many people believed
in me and my dreams and wanted to
help me achieve them. That support, both
financially and through the mentorship
program, has changed my life. I will always
be immensely grateful for this gift and look forward to the day I
can use my career in health care to give others the same support.”
Caitlin Etherton, 2013 scholarship recipient in her third year at
The University of Texas at Austin
