Schneck announces scholarship opportunities

The Schneck Foundation Scholarship Committee has announced that scholarship applications for allied health care fields will be available on Friday.

Stephanie Furlow, Schneck’s Director of Marketing, says that candidates who are interested in pursuing a course of study in a technical/professional allied health career are welcome to apply for consideration. She says that acceptance for enrollment at a school and program of study in a technical/professional field is required for the scholarship to be officially awarded.

Furlow explains that it is the desire of the Foundation to interest individuals in healthcare fields. She says that this scholarship program was started in 1992 and, since that time, has awarded over $385,300 in scholarships.

A scholarship application may be obtained online at www.schneckfoundation.org, www.schneckmed.org or from the Schneck Medical Center Foundation/Development Office. Applications will also be available from counselors at local high schools.

Applications must be completed and returned to the Foundation/Development Office no later than March 15, 2016. Questions should be directed to Cora Laymon in the Foundation/Development Office. She can be reached at (812) 524-4245 or [email protected].
