Fall River, MA – Saint Anne’s Hospital invites students who will be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing in the 2021-2022 academic year to apply for the 2021 Nursing Memorial Scholarship in memory of Darcy E. Nientimp, BSN, RN.

This scholarship program honors the late Saint Anne’s Hospital ICU nurse who passed away in February 2015 at the age of 26, just six months after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Funded by donations from the community, this nursing memorial scholarship was established in 2015 to honor Darcy’s memory by helping others pursue a nursing career with passion and excellence, just as she did.

Students who are pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in the 2021-2022 academic year are eligible for this year’s awards. Applications must be completed and submitted no later than Friday, April 9. Final selections will be made on or before April 30.
