NANTUCKET – Nantucket Cottage Hospital is inviting Nantucket residents to submit applications for its 2016 Beinecke Scholarship Fund.
The fund, created by late Nantucket businessman and civic leader Walter Beinecke, Jr., is intended to further the education and training of island residents in medical and health care fields by helping to finance their studies.
The scholarship fund is open to graduates of Nantucket High School, employees of Nantucket Cottage Hospital and island residents who can satisfy the guidelines and requirements.
The Beinecke Scholarship Fund focuses on six areas of health care study and training.
Nursing is the fund’s first priority, followed by radiology and imaging services, laboratory services, pharmaceutical fields, physician and physician assistant studies, as well as physical therapy training.
Last year Nantucket Cottage Hospital awarded Beinecke scholarships totaling $35,300 to 45 individuals.
Nantucket Cottage Hospital has used the scholarship fund to assist several hundred island students further their education.
The eligibility of applicants is verified by an independent ad hoc committee consisting of NCH and community leaders.
Applications are available for download on the NCH web site and must be completed by May 2.
