Those interested in pursuing a career in nursing are invited to apply for a scholarship through the Friends of Marion Visiting Nurses, a nonprofit organization that awards annual scholarships to local high school seniors.

Recipients must be residents of Marion, Mattapoisett, or Rochester, and are chosen on the basis of academic ability, community service, and financial need.

The application and accompanying materials are due by May 1, and the award recipients will be notified shortly thereafter. To receive the scholarship application, email your request to ldo25@hotmail.com.
