Rissolo is enrolled in the University of Wilmington Doctorate of Nursing Practice-Leadership Program.  She began Realslow Recovery, LLC and opened Gratitude House in Easton, MD for men recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. Tyler will be studying at the University of MD Eastern Shore, majoring in math and focusing her teaching towards English Language Learners.

Application for the 2019 grant will be available in April, 2019 at local libraries and colleges in the five counties, or electronically by request at [email protected].
