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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipient of the first annual Martha M. Spinnegan Nursing Scholarship is Emily Pietrzykowski, a graduating Senior from Alexander Central School. Emily will be attending Ramapo College of New Jersey majoring in nursing with the goal of becoming a trauma nurse practitioner. Emily states: \u201dI\u2019ve always felt a strong calling to help others, especially during times of crisis. Nursing allows me to combine my compassion with my desire to serve in high-pressure environments where I can make a direct impact.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
