NHCH offers three scholarship opportunities

MEDIA RELEASE

NHCH would like to encourage residents of North Hawaii to apply for three scholarship opportunities, which include the Peggy Dineen-Orsini Scholarship, the NHCH Medical Staff Scholarship and the Hawaii Emergency Physicians Associated, Inc. (HEPA) Scholarship.

The Peggy Dineen-Orsini Scholarship offers one $2,000 award to a resident of North Hawaii who is enrolled in or accepted for enrollment in a National League of Nursing (NLN) accredited program in Hawaii or on the mainland.

Private donors along with the Medical Staff at NHCH fund this scholarship in memory of Peggy Dineen-Orsini, a registered nurse at North Hawaii Community Hospital for eight years from 1996 to 2004.

Dineen-Orsini had a caring and appreciative essence for all life offered. Her compassion for her patients, colleagues and friends made her a joy to know and be around. The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage residents to become productive members of our community through higher education.

The second scholarship is funded solely by the NHCH Medical Staff and offers two $1,000 scholarships to individuals who are enrolled in or accepted for enrollment in a National League of Nursing accredited program in Hawaii or on the mainland.

The third and final scholarship opportunity is funded by Hawaii Emergency Physicians Associated, Inc. (HEPA), the independent, physician-owned group of board-certified physicians who provide staffing in NHCH’s Emergency Department. HEPA is offering two $1,000 college scholarships to graduating North Hawaii high school students.

For this scholarship, students are asked to write a personal letter describing their future plans and goals and to explain why their financial need is compelling.

All applications will be reviewed by the scholarship committee of each sponsoring organization based on the criteria and requirements outlined in the scholarship application.

Deadline is Friday, May 11, 2012.
