| High school seniors; college students; and non-traditional students, including those who work and attend part time, have dependents other than a spouse, are single parents, or who hold GED certificates; and who live in Daviess, Martin, and Pike County or are children of hospital full and part time employees, are now welcome to apply for scholarships available through the Daviess Community Hospital Foundation. Students are eligible for scholarships as long as they will be or are attending an accredited educational institution in pursuit of a career in the field of healthcare, with a potential for pursuing a career that fulfills a local community need. Eligible careers include Audiologist, Certified Nursing Assistant, Dietitian, Emergency Medical Technician, Laboratory Technician, Medical Assistant, Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Occupational Therapist, Pharmacist, Pharmacy Technician, Physical Therapist, Physician and Surgeon, Physician Assistant, Radiologic Technician, Recreational Therapist, Respiratory Therapist, Social Worker, Speech-Language Pathologist, Surgical Technologist, and other medical careers that improve the health of those living in our community.
Scholarship funds may be used to cover legitimate educational expenses including tuition, books, room and board, uniforms, and other reasonable expenses and are paid directly to the school.
The individual scholarship award will be $1,500. The individual award cannot exceed legitimate educational expenses described in the previous paragraph that the applicant has during a single year of study. The Helen Arthur Memorial Scholarship Award of an additional $500 will be awarded to a recipient studying the field of nursing. Previous scholarship recipients may reapply. However, recipients may receive only two awards, excluding the Helen Arthur Memorial Scholarship Award.
