NORWAY — The 2018 Diane E. Curtis Medical Scholarship has been awarded to Emma Jo Armington of Lovell. Armington has just completed her freshman year at Simmons College in Boston, where she is studying physical therapy in pursuit of a medical career in the field of prosthesis.

The Diane E. Curtis Medical Scholarship, started in 2014 to honor the late wife of Tom Curtis, a resident of Norway, annually presents a $1,000 scholarship to a deserving student in either Oxford County, where Diane lived, or Androscoggin County, where Diane was treated, who wishes to pursue a career in the medical field.

The Scholarship Committee found that Armington possessed all of the qualities the members were seeking and met all of the application requirements. The recipient of this scholarship must complete an application form discussing what community and volunteering activities in which he/she is or has been involved; what leadership qualities he/she has displayed; a transcript of high school or college grades; at least two letters of recommendation; and the reasons behind the applicant’s decision to pursue a medical career.

Armington is the daughter of Martha and Paul Armington of Lovell.
