Dr. Ciriaco “Jerry” Memmolo Memorial Scholarship

Overview

The Dr. Ciriaco “Jerry” Memmolo Memorial Scholarship is open to academically qualified full time and regular part time employees and children of full time and regular part time employees of St. Anthony Medical Center, St. Louis, Missouri. The applicant selected to be a recipient will:

• demonstrate financial need as a full time student at an accredited trade school, college or university.
• be either: an employee enrolled in a certificate or undergraduate degree program that will either improve his or her work in a clinical healthcare field; or a dependent child of an employee enrolled in a healthcare field of study.

The Dr. Ciriaco “Jerry” Memmolo Memorial Scholarship was established by Rizziero and Asteria Memmolo to perpetuate the memory of their son, Dr. Jerry Memmolo, a general surgeon at St. Anthony's Medical Center from 1997 until his death in a tragic car accident September 5, 2002 as he drove to St. Anthony's. You are invited to read the enclosed Mission and Background for a more complete understanding of the scholarship and its inspiration.

One scholarship of up to $1,500 will be awarded for the 2010-2011 academic year. Students at any level in their program of study are encouraged to apply. Recipients may reapply for award consideration for a maximum of four years of funding provided they continue to meet eligibility requirements.

Applications will be evaluated on the basis of past academic performance (must currently have achieved a cumulative 2.8 grade point average on a 4 point scale) and potential for continued success, the quality of the essay and recommendations, and evidence of the student's compassion, team spirit, integrity and/or work ethic. Selection of the recipients and the scholarship amount will be determined by the Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation from information provided by the applicant, the applicant's family, and the school.

Each applicant will be notified of his or her status in the competition in early June.

The application materials must be postmarked to the Community Foundation by May 1.
