Plante Scholarship Connects Generations of Doctors
Mar 23, 2005 — The Adirondack Community Trust is accepting applications for the third round of the U. R. Plante Medical Scholarship Fund. The Plante Fund was established in 2002 and gives out an annual $10,000 scholarship for a student attending medical school, who has lived in Clinton, Franklin, or St. Lawrence Counties for at least two years. Todd Moe talks with U.R. Plante's daughter, Annette Plante, who lives in Potsdam and ACT Executive Director Cali Brooks. Annette says the scholarship was established in honor of her father, who was born in 1891 at Mooers Forks and later moved to Tupper Lake. In 1915, he graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine and established a medical practice in Massena.
