Eleven students seeking a career in health care received scholarships through the Concord Hospital Trust Scholarship Fund at an awards luncheon at Concord Hospital on June 19.
Kimberly Wright, Catie Tirrell, Lindsey Sevigny, Sandrine Ndetah, Chelsie Ann McKerley, Toria Haungs, Emily Gatzke, Kimberly Dennis and Jade Chandronnait all received nursing scholarships. In addition, allied health awards were given to Justin Worth, and Frank Beane.
The Concord Hospital Trust Scholarship Fund, part of the Trust’s endowment, provided $32,271 in scholarship support. With probate approval, the fund comprises a number of scholarships originally established to support the Concord Hospital School of Nursing, which closed in 1989.
The Concord Hospital Trust Scholarship Committee, a volunteer sub-committee of the trust’s Stewardship Committee and led by chairwoman Harriet Resnicoff, received 44 applications. The applications were reviewed according to a “blind” process; the committee members did not see the names of the applicants until the final weight was determined after reviewing all of the eligibility guidelines.
“It was truly gratifying to award these scholarships,” said Pamela Puleo, Concord Hospital Trust executive director. “The luncheon represented a culmination of a tremendous amount of work on behalf of the Scholarship Committee.”
