The Berkshire Community College Foundation has established a memorial scholarship in the name of Paige Beaudin Clark.
This scholarship is endowed by Ed Clark of Dalton in memory of his late wife Paige, a person dedicated to helping others in her community. Paige died in 1996 shortly after giving birth to her fourth child.
The scholarship will assist BCC students seeking higher education in a health related field. "It is my hope that this scholarship will support and encourage those committed to helping others in the health care profession," said Clark.
Scholarships will be awarded to cover tuition, books and fees for students enrolled at BCC. First preference will be given to single parents who have demonstrated a commitment to furthering their education in a health-related field, and who have demonstrated financial need. Students studying nursing and pursuing an interest in mother-infant care will receive the highest consideration.
The first scholarship will be awarded Thursday evening, May 29, during BCC's 29th Annual Awards Ceremony beginning at 7 in the Robert M. Boland Theatre.
For more information on how to apply for or to make a contribution to the scholarship, call 413-499-4660, Ext. 381.

Winter Storm Warning Issued for Berkshires
Another snowstorm is expected to move through the region overnight on Friday, bringing 5 to 8 inches of snow. This is updated from Thursday's winter weather advisory.
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has posted a winter storm warning for all of Berkshire County and parts of eastern New York State beginning Friday at 4 p.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.
The region could see heavy to moderate snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour overnight, tapering off Saturday morning to flurries.
Drivers should exercise caution on Friday night and Saturday morning, as travel conditions may be hazardous.
Saturday night should be clear and calm, but warming temperatures means freezing rain Sunday night and rain through Monday with highs in the 40s. The forecast isn't much better through the week as temperatures dip back into the teens with New Year's Eve looking cloudy and frigid.
