GHS Foundation Now Accepting Applications for the 2011 Sam Perry Memorial Scholarship Program

The Granville Health System Foundation has announced that it is now accepting applications for the 2011 Sam Perry Memorial Scholarship Program.

The Foundation established the scholarship fund in honor of Sam Perry, a physician’s assistant (PA) whose specialized medical care had earned him deep respect from both patients and peers throughout his career.

The scholarship will be awarded by the Foundation to a Granville County resident who has been accepted into a two-year or four-year Allied Health Program at an accredited school and who intends to pursue a career in the allied health care field. Programs eligible for this scholarship include clinical laboratory sciences, physical therapy, occupational therapy, radiological science, pharmacy, RN, BSN, AND, LPN, dentistry and related careers, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner.

The deadline for submitting applications is March 31, 2011. The Scholarship recipient will be selected by the Foundation Board in May 2011, using established criteria. A monetary award of five hundred dollars ($500.00) will be paid toward the recipient’s tuition in August 2011, upon verification of acceptance into an approved program. This is a one-time scholarship, but individuals may reapply for as many years as they are in school.
