The Jerome Foundation recently established the Martha M. Spinnegan Memorial Nursing Scholarship. The award is given in memory of the late Martha M. Spinnegan, who was a Foundation Trustee for over 30 years and served as the Foundation’s administrator for 15 years. Martha contributed greatly to the quality of life in Genesee County serving as Director of the Richmond Memorial Library for 34 years.
The nursing scholarship is an annual $1000 grant for four years for a total of $4000 given to a deserving Senior graduating from a Genesee County School whose intention is to pursue a career in the field of Nursing.
The recipient of this year’s Martha M. Spinnegan Nursing Scholarship is Jagger Smith, a graduating Senior from LeRoy Central School. Jagger will be attending SUNY Brockport majoring in nursing. Jagger states: “When I was younger, I remember seeing doctors and nurses helping my father in his fight against cancer and thought to myself that one day I want to be able to help others the way they helped my father.”
