Adena accepting scholarship applications

0

The Adena Health Foundation is now accepting applications for scholarships for the 2016-17 school years. Since 2002, the Foundation has awarded more than $548,000 in scholarships to students from Adena’s 12-county service region.

Students who apply must be working toward a degree in a health care field. Scholarships are available by field of study, which include: physical therapy, speech therapy, audiology, licensed physical/occupational therapy, radiology technologist, nursing, respiratory therapy, medical technology, medical laboratory technology, medicine, and pharmacy.

Current or past scholarship recipients must re-apply in order to be considered for the 2016-17 school year.

Applicants must have a high school GPA of at least 3.0 and diploma or a GED score of at least 550. They must also be a permanent resident of one of the 12 counties in Adena’s service area, and must provide proof of admission to their academic program of choice. Proof of college admission does not always constitute admission to a specific program. If your program admission is pending please mark “pending” on your application and provide proof as soon as possible.

For more details on the scholarship requirements, the special criteria listed for each field of study, and to download an application, go to www.adena.org/foundation.

All applications must be received at the Adena Regional Medical Center’s Volunteer office, or post marked no later than 4 p.m., Thursday, May 19, 2016.

The Adena Health Foundation Scholarship Program is made possible by the fundraising efforts of the Volunteer Advisory Council of Adena, The Women’s Board of Adena, and several generous endowments and funds.

After the applications are reviewed, students should expect award letters to be mailed in mid-June.
