Houston Healthcare offering scholarships to students

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

For the past eight years, Houston Healthcare has given a $1,000

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. The student must complete and submit the application to their guidance

    counselor, along with a letter of recommendation from a principal,

    teacher or counselor. 

  4. 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.

  5. 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,

Marketing, 1601 Watson Boulevard, Warner Robins, Georgia 31093. For

additional questions regarding the scholarship, please contact the

Marketing Department at 975-6585.
