Two area graduating seniors recently received the Pat McGee Nursing Scholarship, managed by the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation.
Grace Elder of Cassadaga Valley Central School and Nicole Hoeckh of Ten Broeck
Academy/Franklinville Central School each received the Pat McGee Nursing Scholarship.
The scholarship is given to traditional and non-traditional students from the 57th State Senate District, which includes much of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties, who are pursuing nursing degrees. Established through the Pat McGee Endowment Fund, the scholarship memorializes the 57th district’s late state senator.
Elder and Hoeckh each received a $700 award.
Elder will attend Daemen College. Hoeckh will continue her education at Jamestown Community College.
The McGee Nursing Scholarship was established in 2005, since which the fund has supported over $59,000 in scholarship awards for students in the 57th State Senate District.
