The Foundation was founded in 1964 due to a large sum of money collected from overseeing the
administration of the Polio Vaccine. Our members provided their services on a pro bono basis.
The vaccines were supplied and administered by physicians, nurses and pharmaceutical companies.
The program charged a mere quarter for its administration. The program received more people than
anticipated by the administrator and collected quite a large sum of money even after accounting for
all expenses. The Board decided to form a 501-c-3 corporation with the intent to distribute the money
in the form of scholarships for medical,pharmaceutical and nursing students. Regretfully, Pre-med students are NOT eligible to receive this program.
Contributions
Contributions are the backbone of the foundation. It is because of our gracious donors that we are able
to help students continue their education and therefore contribute to the betterment of our healthcare
system. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund, please contact Heidi Stokes at or call the office at 732-257-6800.
