Joann D. Hasse Nursing Scholarship
In the summer of 2023, the League of Women Voters of New Castle County announced an academic scholarship program in the name of Joann Hasse, a longtime League member and advocate who died that spring. Hasse served as League President at both the New Castle County and State level for multiple terms over the years, and was honored by the Delaware State General Assembly for her advocacy work. Joann was a friend and mentor to many in the League and will be sorely missed.
The Joann D. Hasse League of Women Voters of New Castle County Scholarship is administered by the University of Delaware and will be awarded annually to a U.D. nursing student in their junior or senior year on the basis of merit and financial need. Preference will be given to students from New Castle County, but will be extended state-wide if no suitable NCC recipient is located each year.
A lifelong learner, Joann often mentioned that she attended "the university of LWV" — crediting her League of Women Voters involvement with sparking her extensive self-education regarding social issues and government. A retired nursing professional, Joann served as Chair of the Health Care Portfolio for the League of Women Voters of Delaware Advocacy Corps for many years.
