VIRGINIA BEACH – Four nurses, five high schoolers and one medical school student are receiving $3,000 scholarships from the Sentara Princess Anne Hospital Auxiliary.
The 100-member auxiliary, which was organized soon after the hospital opened in 2011, provides assistance to local students pursuing healthcare careers. This year’s $30,000 in scholarships will put the group’s total awards at $112,500 in the past five years, according to a release. The money comes from fundraising, it said.
Recipients must attend a Virginia university or college. Applicants are judged on grades, leadership and community activities and recommendations, according to the release.
This year’s high school recipients are:
- Bradley S. Hilliard, Ocean Lakes
- Merly T. Konathapally, Ocean Lake
- Luke T. Dyer, Kellam
- Samuel P. Dyer, Kellam
- Amanda N. Stamekovich, Salem
The other recipients are:
- Ashley N. Demoss, a past recipient who won a renewal scholarship; the Christopher Newport University grad will attend Eastern Virginia Medical School.
- Nimsi Gutierrez, Marygrace Manzano, Kasey Lupino and Rosalee Javier Sentara, all Princess Anne Hospital nurses who are continuing their education.
They will be honored at a reception Sunday at Sentara Princess Anne Hospital.
