The president of Nittany Paper Mills recently made a gift of $100,000 to fund scholarships for students at Geisinger Lewistown School of Nursing. Don Chapman III made the gift in memory of his father, Don Chapman Jr., who was a longstanding member of the Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital Board. The scholarship will benefit nursing students in good standing from Mifflin and Juniata counties. “The Geisinger Lewistown School of Nursing is known nationwide for its excellence, and I am pleased to offer $100,000 in scholarship money to Mifflin and Juniata County residents who have displayed aptitude to begin a career in health care,” Chapman III said. The school offers year-round open enrollment, with terms starting in August. For eight of the last nine years, the school’s NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination) pass rates have reached 100%. In 2020, Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital School of Nursing’s program was ranked as the second-best nursing program in Pennsylvania by RegisteredNursing.org. There are various scholarships and financial aid available for students who fit basic eligibility credentials.
