Scholarship application information for medical students and nursing students
KeyBank National Association and attorney, Jeffrey A. Lowry, of the law firm of Butcher, Ball, Lowry, and Alter, are pleased to announce that for the twenty-first year, the Dwaine and Louise Plummer Scholarship Fund will award scholarships to medical students and nursing students. Dwaine Plummer and his wife Louise Plummer, established the Plummer Scholarship Fund to help graduates of Howard County high schools in their pursuit of nursing or medical careers. Because they desired to see more young people enter the medical profession, this scholarship fund was established to encourage and help students who had an interest in the health care field but needed financial assistance to pursue their career objectives. In 2009 scholarships were awarded to six individuals planning to enter the medical profession and three individuals studying to become nurses. KeyBank National Association and Jeffrey A. Lowry are the co-trustees of the scholarship fund. As co-trustees, they select and appoint a scholarship selection committee. In determining which candidates receive scholarships, the scholarship selection committee chooses candidates who have the following qualifications:
- A good scholastic standing.
- A sincere desire for an education in medicine or nursing.
- Financial need to facilitate the completion of the recipient’s education.
- A sincere interest in fulfilling the medical needs of society.
In 2010, numerous scholarships will be awarded to Howard County high school graduates with an interest in medical careers and who need financial assistance to achieve their career goals. Persons interested in applying for financial assistance from the PLUMMER SCHOLARSHIP FUND can request an application form by writing and enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Plummer Scholarship, KeyBank National Association, Att: Agnes Marountas, 127 Public Square, 16th Floor, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.
