Mon Health Medical Center Foundation Awards Annual Healthcare Career Scholarships
Posted Date: 5/26/2020
The Mon Health Medical Center Foundation recently awarded $44,500 in scholarships to area students pursuing degrees in healthcare fields. Values of the scholarships awarded range from $500 to $1,000 per year for up to four years. Selection was based on financial need and academic performance. Each applicant also submitted a letter describing why they selected a specific health career. A sub-committee of the Foundation’s Board of Directors selected the recipients.
The Foundation created the Health Career Scholarship Program in 1991 to promote healthcare careers in fields with projected worker shortages in Morgantown and surrounding areas. Since the establishment of the program, the Foundation has awarded nearly $700,000 in Health Career Scholarships and has expanded the program to include 10 counties in North Central West Virginia and two counties in Southwestern Pennsylvania. In addition, three new scholarships were funded this year, allowing the Foundation to increase the number of awards given.
