Annual Scholarship Program

Initially started in 2002, the annual scholarship was awarded to a high school student interested in pursuing a career in a health care field. In the ensuing years the program has expanded and now scholarships are offered annually in three different categories in the healthcare field:

an AHS employee for continuing education (e.g. an RN taking a post grad oncology course, administrative support taking courses in Human Resources, new Food Services Supervisor taking an administration course)
a high school student entering a healthcare field (e.g. Nursing program – RN, LPN, HCA, Pharmacy, Pre-med, Kinesthesiology)
a student from the service area entering the second or subsequent years in post-secondary health care program. (e.g. Nursing program – RN, Pharmacy, Pre-med, Medicine, Kinesthesiology)

The value of each scholarship is $500.

Application information is advertised locally, distributed to all of the high schools, and is available in the Foundation office and AHS entities within the service area of the Foundation.
