RUMFORD — Rumford Hospital is seeking applications for the annual Peg Blouin Nursing Scholarship, which is awarded to a new nursing student who has been accepted into an associate or bachelor’s degree program.

The deadline to apply for the $1,250 scholarship is May 17, and the recipient will be chosen by the Rumford Hospital Nursing Leadership Committee. Nursing students at any stage of life are encouraged to apply.

Peg Blouin established the Peg Blouin Nursing Scholarship in 2009 upon her retirement from Rumford Hospital after 42 years as a registered nurse. She had been a recipient of the Auxiliary Scholarship, which enabled her to earn her nursing degree, and she said she wanted to give back to the community through her scholarship, according to a news release from the hospital.

For an application or more information, call the Rumford Hospital nursing secretary at 369-1232.
