Rumford Hospital is seeking applications for the annual Peg Blouin Nursing Scholarship. The scholarship awards $1, 250 to a new nursing student who has been accepted into either an associate or bachelor’s degree program. Interested individuals should contact the Rumford Hospital Office Coordinator at 369 -1232 for applications, scholarship guidelines and additional information. Applications must be received no later than May 21, 2018, for consideration.
Applications are encouraged from new nursing students at any stage of life. The recipient will be chosen by the Rumford Hospital Nursing Leadership committee.
The Peg Blouin Nursing Scholarship was established in 2009 upon Blouin’s retirement from Rumford Hospital, after 42 years as a registered nurse. Having been a recipient of the Auxiliary Scholarship, which enabled her to earn her nursing degree, Blouin expressed a wish to give back to the community.
