The Dr. Raja S. Gopalan Registered Nursing Scholarship is currently accepting applications for 2018. Dr. Gopalan created this scholarship at the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation in 2011. To date, the fund has awarded six scholarships totaling $6,000.
Brooks Memorial Hospital (BMH) and TLC Health Network (TLC) employees pursuing a Registered Nursing degree are eligible for this award. Family members may also apply.
