Houston Healthcare offering scholarships to students
scholarship to a graduating Senior at each of the high schools in
Houston County, the Career Academy and the Westfield School who intend
to work in a healthcare-related field. We are pleased to be able to
provide this scholarship again this year. The guidelines for the
scholarship are based on the following criteria:
- The student must be accepted for enrollment in either a two or
four-year college program with the expressed intent to obtain a degree
in a healthcare-related field such as Nursing, Pharmacy or
Physical/Occupational Therapy.
- The student must have a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 and have
demonstrated his or her commitment to school and community activities.
Working part-time or as a volunteer in a healthcare setting would be
considered an excellent demonstration of interest in the healthcare
field.
- The student must complete and submit the application to their guidance
counselor, along with a letter of recommendation from a principal,
teacher or counselor.
- The student must submit an essay (no more than two pages typed and
double spaced) communicating his or her interest and desire in pursuing
an education and career in healthcare.
- The scholarship will be paid directly to the student. The student must
agree that the funds distributed by Houston Healthcare will be used
exclusively for educational purposes. If for any reason it is determined
the funds are misused, the student agrees to pay back the entire amount
to Houston Healthcare.
The application must be filled out completely and all the necessary
requested documents must be provided in order for the application to be
considered. The deadline for submission is Monday, March 25.
After completion, all materials can be mailed to Mary Stanley,
