District Three Nurses - Mary Ellen Patton Undergradute Scholarship


This scholarship was established in 2023 by District Three Nurses Association, which serves Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana counties. The association desires to honor a Youngstown nurse, Mary Ellen Patton, RN, who was a nurse leader locally, in Ohio and nationally.

The District Three Nurses Association hopes the recipients of the District Three Nurses - Mary Ellen Patton, RN scholarship will continue Mrs. Patton’s legacy by being a strong advocate for nurses and the profession. If you are a recipient of this scholarship award, (from many caring nurses in the community) PLEASE consider PAYING IT FORWARD, in the future.
