The E.MAP Nursing Scholarship Fund
E.MAP (The Employers Medical Access Partnership) and 1889 Foundation have teamed up to create an important scholarship endowment fund.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide $1,000 scholarships to worthy recipients who are pursuing careers in the nursing profession. Our goal is to encourage area students to receive their medical educations locally and hopefully to practice their profession within our community for years to come. The recipients will be determined by the Director(s) of each school/nursing program and applied to a nursing student enrolled in a nursing curriculum.
Thanks to the generous contributions from the following organizations who have made the endowment possible:
- AmeriServ Financial
- David N. Straight
- 1889 Foundation
- The Cambria/Somerset Labor Management Committee (via proceeds from their annual charitable golf event)
- E.MAP
- UPMC Health Plan
E.MAP has awarded more than 75 scholarships to deserving students since 2010.
