NORWICH - Students and community members interested in a career in nursing are invited to apply to the Dr. Thomas F. Manley Nursing Scholarship/Loan Fund, a generous opportunity created in memory of Dr. Thomas Manley, a pioneering physician who helped found UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital.

 

Chenango County residents and residents of surrounding communities who are pursuing a nursing degree at an accredited school of professional nursing are eligible to apply. Awards range from $500 to $2,000, with the possibility of higher amounts and renewable funding for multiple years while students remain enrolled.

 

After graduation and licensure as a Registered Nurse, recipients must complete a one‑year employment commitment at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital.

 

“This scholarship is a great opportunity to receive financial support, gain valuable experience, and begin a rewarding nursing career close to home,” said Brian Day, Volunteer and Student Services Manager at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital.

 

The application deadline is May 15, 2026. To apply or request more information, contact Day at brian.day@nyuhs.org or via phone at (607) 337-4151.
