Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) is proud to announce the recipients of its Bailey Bernstein Memorial Scholarship and the Delores “Darcy” Lipp Memorial Scholarship. These annual awards were established through generous endowment gifts made to the JRMC Foundation by families honoring their loved ones’ legacies.
To qualify for either scholarship, applicants must be high school seniors with a minimum 3.0 GPA and submit JRMC’s “Healthy Roots” essay. Scholarship funds may be used for tuition and educational expenses.
The Bailey Bernstein Memorial Scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate a desire to serve in healthcare, a commitment to community service and values that reflect JRMC’s Healthy Roots, honoring Bernstein’s legacy of compassion and service. Each recipient receives a $500 scholarship. The 2026 recipients are:
