SALISBURY, MD---The Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology at Salisbury University is accepting applicants for the Lucy Tull Scholarship, recently endowed for residents of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties pursing degrees in nursing and other medically related fields.

Students applying must include a letter of introduction indicating the scholarship desired and a biographical essay. Documents submitted during the admissions process will be available to the Tull Scholarship Committee.
