2026 Scholarship Winner

At Celina Health and Rehabilitation, we believe that investing in the future of healthcare starts with investing in the incredible young minds of our community. That is why we are absolutely thrilled and deeply honored to announce Martina Riddle as the recipient of our 2026 Health Care Scholarship!

Since 2024, our renewable $25,000 scholarship has supported high school seniors pursuing healthcare based on academic merit, financial need, and community service—and Martina is incredibly deserving.

To say Martina is a hard worker would be a massive understatement. While navigating the standard challenges of high school, Martina was simultaneously tackling college-level prerequisite courses. Her dedication paid off immensely: she graduated from Clay County High School as the third-ranked student in her class, boasting a phenomenal 3.97 GPA.

Martina’s drive is truly unparalleled. In fact, it’s hard to think of anyone more hyper-focused on achieving their goals. She isn’t waiting around to start the next chapter of her life, either. Just days after walking across the high school graduation stage, she dove straight into her nursing degree at Volunteer State Community College.

What makes Martina so special isn’t just her intellect—it’s her balanced, vibrant approach to life. Alongside her heavy academic workload, she was a dedicated athlete, playing both tennis and volleyball, and served as an active participant in several high school clubs and organizations.

Her ultimate blueprint? To complete her collegiate studies in record time, earn her bachelor’s degree, and immediately focus on obtaining her master’s degree to become a certified Nurse Practitioner.

Please join all of us at Celina Health and Rehabilitation in sending congratulations to Martina Riddle!

The future of healthcare is bright, and it looks a lot like Martina.
