BMC announces scholarship application openings

PITTSFIELD – Berkshire Medical Center (BMC) announced this week that applications are being accepted for two scholarships, both aimed at students pursuing careers in the healthcare field.

The Kermit Gordon Scholarship will be awarded to Berkshire County college students enrolled in medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy or health science programs.

Through the continued support and generosity of the Gordon Family – longstanding donors to Berkshire Medical Center – 10 Berkshire County students last year were awarded scholarships to begin or continue their education in the healthcare field.

The Kermit Gordon Scholarship Fund at BMC was created by Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Gordon in 1985 for students who plan to enter the healthcare field.

The scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need, superior academic performance, commitment to a chosen field and potential for success.

Nursing scholarships

BMC is also accepting applications for nursing scholarships, awarded annually to county residents from funds through the former Henry W. Bishop and St. Luke’s nursing schools.

These scholarships will help pay initial tuition and expenses for those pursuing an associate’s degree, a bachelor of science in nursing or a master of science in nursing.

The number and amount of scholarships to be awarded will be set by the scholarship committee.

“The scholarships will not be awarded until summer, and we do not do a ceremony where the recipients are all gathered, as it’s difficult to get 20 or so people together at once, and often these are students already enrolled in a college when they receive the award,” according to Michael Leary, director of media relations for Berkshire Health Systems.

Application forms may be obtained from the Berkshire Health Systems Education Department, 165 Tor Court in Pittsfield, or from county high school guidance counselors. All applications are due by May 1.

For more information, call the BHS Education Department at (413) 447-2132.
