It is the hope of the Foundation that offering scholarships will provide an incentive for young people to consider a health care occupation.

There are many shortages in health care personnel, both on a state and national level. The shortages are in many fields, including nursing, radiology and lab technicians, and pharmacists, to name a few.

Since 1998 the SAHCF has given scholarships to area high school seniors and post-secondary students interested in pursuing health care careers, without stipulations on post-graduation relocation.

2007 Award Recipients

The competition for scholarships was once again keen this year with the following students being awarded a $500 scholarship:  Ashley Lang and Lucas Marz from Springfield Public School; Britta Engen from Red Rock Central High School; and Megan Madsen and Misty McColley from Cedar Mountain High School. Ashlee and Britta are interested in careers in medicine, Lucas is pursuing a career in pharmacy, and Megan and Misty are considering careers in nursing.
