Elayne Walker-Cabral Medical Scholarship Endowment

Elayne Walker-Cabral was a strong, helpful member of our community with a passion for mentoring students of all ages. In Mrs.

She was a lifelong learner of many subjects, setting a positive example to her mentees. She continued her passion by serving as the director of the Met Community School for more than twenty years. Elayne had a personal connection with many people in her community that has forever influenced our growth. In 2016 Elayne unexpectedly passed away from a form of Cardiovascular disease. In 2017 the community was looking forward to a memorial event to mark her one year anniversary. Idalys Perez organized this event and emphasized celebrating Elayne’s legacy, educating ourselves on Cardiovascular disease, and donating funds to local causes. We achieved this by donating to the American Heart Association and sponsoring the Elayne Walker-Cabral Medical Scholarship. Elayne was a strong supporter of continuing education. In this spirit, the Medical Scholarship was established to support graduating Met High School students continuing their education in the healthcare field. In 2018 we established an Endowment fund with the Rhode Island Foundation to make an ongoing impact. This Endowment allows us to make the medical scholarship permanent as a testimony to Elayne’s memory. Our goal is to support our scholars in their aspirations and continue our education in our health. Elayne’s name, I hope you choose to support our cause.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

The EWC Medical Scholarship is honored to award another scholarship, through our Endowment with the RI Foundation, to a graduating student of The Met High School. We are happy to announce Hadayza Rodriguez Garcia as the 2025 recipient!

Hadayza will be attending Simmons University with plans to participate in the 3+3 accelerated program. This program will allow her to study Health, Exercise Science, and Physical Therapy. Their long-term goals are to pursue their passion for women’s sports and become a Sports Physiotherapist. While attending The Met Hadayza completed an internship with Saint Anne’s Hospital in their Diagnostic Imaging department, participated in the MIT Critical Care Datathon event, partnered with the Parent Support Network of RI for a project, and interned with multiple physical therapists who focused on rehabilitation, optimal function, and post-operations. Her various projects involved researching Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, AI Sciences, Children’s Healthcare, Orthopedics for student athletes, and developed an anatomy and physiology curriculum. In addition to these experiences, Hadayza has also acted as Captain to her Junior Varsity Volleyball Team, President of the Competitive Stock Pitch Club, completed more than 136 hours of community services, and built a peer tutoring and translating program within her building to strengthen support for students, staff and families. These are just a few examples of her accomplishments so far.

Hadayza, your research, work experiences and projects have shown true dedication to the vast world of healthcare, your communities and passion for women's sports. Your confidence and enthusiasm will guide you in your future. Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who makes the Elayne Walker-Cabral Medical Scholarship possible and honors Ms. Elayne’s memory each day.
