Clone of 2026 Ruth Lang Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship

Ruth Lang Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship

The ANAMASS Ruth Lang Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship was established by the Fitzgerald family in memory Ruth Lang Fitzgerald, a founding member of the American Nurses Association Massachusetts (formerly MARN) and a longtime member of the American Nurses Association, who passed away in January 2005. Ruth was proud of her 62 years as an RN, her service to her country during War World II as a 1st Lt. in the Army Nurse Corps in the South Pacific and her work as an advocate for seniors. This scholarship of up to $1000 is to be given to an ANAMASS member to pursue an area of interest or special project that will be beneficial to the member and/or the Association. The Scholarship may be used to attend an educational conference or some other educational activity. It may also be used for participation in a humanitarian aide project. The Ruth Lang Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship is presented each year at the FNAMA Scholarship/ANAMASS Awards Gala in early spring. Scholarship recipients are asked to serve on the selection committee for the following year’s awards.
