Medical Society Awards $18,000 to Local Medical Students
Eighteen thousand
dollars in scholarships were awarded this year to three Atlantic County medical students.
Robert Kickish of Somers
Point will receive a $6,000 scholarship from the medical society. He is a second year medical student at George Washington University Medical School in Washington, DC.
Sean Wilkinson of Egg Harbor Township will receive $5,000 in scholarship money from the medical society and
$1,000 from the Dr. and Mrs. Edward Wrobleski Scholarship Fund. He is a second

Marc van de Rijn of Egg Harbor Township is beginning his first year of medical school at Temple School of
Medicine in Philadelphia. He will receive
$3000 in scholarship money from the medical society and $3000 from the South
Shore Health Services Scholarship Fund.
The Scholarship Fund of
the Atlantic County Medical Society was established in 1970 by Dr. Maurice
Gordon in memory of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Gordon. The Medical
Staffs of the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Shore Memorial Hospital and South Shore Health Services have donated scholarship
money for the past several years. In 1980, Mrs. Pearl Thomas of Pleasantville
died and left one third of her estate (approximately $90,000) to the Medical
Society for the sole purpose of granting scholarships to local medical students
who would hopefully return to this area.
A total of $561,000 has been awarded in scholarships since its
conception in 1970.
A total of 87 medical
students have been awarded scholarships to date with the highest individual
award being $15,000.
