— Information from the Granville Health System Foundation
The Granville Health System Foundation is accepting applications for its annual Sam Perry Memorial Scholarship through May 4.
Students who are selected to receive the award this year will notice that the scholarship awards have been increased. The first-place recipient will receive a $2,500 scholarship, while second and third-place recipients will receive $1,000 scholarships to be paid toward tuition in August 2026, upon verification of acceptance into an approved program. These are one-time scholarships, but individuals may reapply for as many years as they are enrolled in school.
Now in its 16th year, the scholarship was established to support students pursuing careers in health care and to help strengthen the future healthcare workforce in Granville County and surrounding communities.
In 2009, the Granville Health System Board of Trustees and the GHS Foundation Board of Directors established a scholarship fund in honor of Sam Perry, a physician assistant whose specialized medical care earned him deep respect from both patients and peers throughout his career at Granville Health System.
The deadline for submitting a completed scholarship application packet is May 4, 2026, at 5 p.m., and more information is available at www.ghshospital.org/ghs-foundation.
