Houston Healthcare Scholarship Applications Still Available
Special to the Journal
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 4 PM on Monday, March 25. The
scholarship will be awarded to each recipient during the School’s Annual Awards
ceremony.
All materials are available on our website, www.hhc.org.
Each school has received a copy of the application and guidelines. 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 call Mary Stanley, 322-4973.
