Conway Jr. and his late wife, Joanne Barkett Conway. The scholarship enables Bachelor of Science in Nursing students who would otherwise qualify for and need a federally subsidized loan to graduate without student loan debt.

From the Archives

Seen here in 1929, the School of Medicine Class of 1932 works in a chemistry lab. The following year, the all-male class would be one of the first to use the Medical Dental building, the School of Medicine’s “new and beautiful home at 3900 Reservoir Road,” as described by the 1932 Ye Domesday Booke. Two 1932 graduates, Robert and Jerome Coffey, later helped to establish a surgery professorship currently held by Thomas M. Fishbein (M’89). | Photo: Georgetown University Archives
