Ten individuals have been named recipients of CGH Health Foundation Nursing and Healthcare scholarships. A total of $20,500 has been awarded because of the generosity of area donors, according to Foundation Board Chair Martha Kophamer, Morrison, IL.
“The Foundation has had a long-standing scholarship program during our 34-year history,” said Kophamer. “We are committed to supporting individuals, who are pursuing a career in the healthcare profession, and want to thank our many contributors who make this possible.”
To be eligible for a Foundation scholarship, students must have already been accepted into their professional field of study. On-line programs are funded in addition to traditional courses at a campus. The next scholarship application will be available Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at www.cghmc.com.
