Tom Curtis, on behalf of the 2014 Diane E. Curtis Medical Scholarship Committee, presents a check to Riley Gray.

Riley Gray of Livermore Falls has been awarded the the 2014 Diane E. Curtis Medical Scholarship, established that year to honor the late wife of Thomas Curtis, a Norway resident.

This $1,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving student scholar residing in either Oxford County (where Diane Curtis lived) or Androscoggin County (the county in which she received treatment) who wishes to pursue a career in the medical field.

Gray, a student at the University of Maine, Augusta, is pursuing a career in dental hygiene, according to a news release from Tom Curtis.

To become a recipient of this medical scholarship, a student must complete an application form while also discussing in what community and volunteer activities he/she is involved, what leadership qualities he/she has displayed, a transcript of that student’s most recent academic grades, at least two letters of recommendation, and the reasons behind the applicant’s decision to pursue this career path.

Gray will receive a check for the scholarship amount upon completion of her next semester and the submittal of her grades.
