This year, we celebrate the 28th year of the Lycoming County Medical Society Scholarship Fund's existence! Our Scholarship Trustees chose to award 2 deserving students from Lycoming County with a $4,400 award each. This year's recipients are Samantha Branton (class of 2028, enrolled at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University), and Rose Wascher (class of 2029, enrolled at Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University). Both of these well-qualified and deserving applicants expressed their gratitude through letters of thanks to the Medical Society, each indicating that they intend to return to practice medicine in rural Pennsylvania. Since selecting the first scholarship recipient in 2002, the Lycoming County Scholarship Fund has granted awards to 37 medical students totaling $117,400 in scholarships! Congratulations to these outstanding medical students!
