The Friends of Marion Visiting Nurses is a nonprofit organization that awards annual scholarships to local high school seniors who desire to work toward a degree in the field of nursing.

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 its accompanying materials are due by May 1. The award recipients will be notified shortly thereafter.

To receive the Friends of Marion Visiting Nurses Scholarship Application, email a request to Laura Dadagian-O'Rourke at ldorourke@hlspc.com and an application will be sent.
