The Christopher Michael McManus Memorial Scholarship
The scholarship was established to honor the life and memory of Dr. Christopher Michael McManus, a nationally recognized and board certified Interventional Radiologist from the Greenville community who tragically passed away in 2013.
Awarded annually, the scholarship recognizes a student who most closely epitomizes the ideals and spirit with which Dr. McManus practiced medicine on a daily basis:
- Commitment and dedication to the practice of medicine
- Compassion for patients and their families
- Personal integrity and enthusiasm
- Intellectual and professional excellence
The recipient of the scholarship is selected from a list of rising fourth-year candidates identified by the directors of the third-year clinical clerkships as students who most exemplify the characteristics of Dr. McManus in his work with patients, families, and his peers.
