Healthcare Scholarships Now Available

3/15/10

Applications are now available for Memorial Hospital’s annual scholarship fund, including the $1,000 Dr. G. Harold Shedd Memorial Award and the VNS Kathleen Sheehan Memorial Award.  Affiliated with the local MWV Dollars for Scholars Chapter, the hospital’s scholarship awards are designed to support those pursuing careers in health-related fields.

The program specifically seeks to assist those students within the hospital’s service area who have already demonstrated the successful completion of part of a higher education degree.  Adult learners returning to school, changing careers or seeking additional education are encouraged to apply.  Students must be accepted into an accredited course of study in a health-related field on at least a half-time basis, and demonstrate successful completion of some earlier portion of their program of study.

Candidates must submit completed application forms to the hospital’s Human Resources office not later than May 15^th.  Awards are based on scholastic ability, applicable work experience, essay, and demonstrated financial needs.  Dollars for Scholars is a national program that receives matching scholarship awards for students at participating colleges and universities.

Applications and more information are available by contacting the Human Resources Department at The Memorial Hospital, 356-5461 ext. 104 or 139 or by clicking here
