MED Foundation Scholarship Program
Applications must be submitted by February 15th.
The purpose of this program is to support the selection of careers in the health care profession by offering scholarships to those individuals interested in improving the health of the citizens of the Mercer County area. Interviews and scholarships will be awarded based upon application, evaluation, and assessments to meet future health care needs.
Judging Criteria:
Individuals must live in Mercer County or attend high school in Mercer County.
Extracurricular activities will be considered- especially those related to health and involvement in promoting a caring attitude toward others.
Motivation for entering their selected health career will be analyzed. A proper attitude regarding this should be evident.
The applicant’s grade point average must be 3.25 or higher. Submitted GPA scores must be converted to a 4.0 scale. Good grades are important but the applicant does not need the highest GPA in the class.
The Selection Committee will review all online applications and invite selected applicants for an interview.
Scholarships will be awarded based upon the application, interview, evaluation, and assessment regarding the future health needs of the citizens of Mercer County and the surrounding area. This evaluation/assessment will vary depending upon the length of education requirement for the applicant’s selected career.
Only online applications will be accepted. Paper applications will not be considered. A letter of reference from their academic counselor or teacher on a school letterhead along with a copy of their high school courses/grades is also required. These letters may be followed by a call to the counselor from a member of the Selection Committee.
Based upon acceptable qualified candidates, at least one (1) scholarship will be awarded to a student from each of the six (6) high schools in Mercer County. Should each high school not have an acceptable qualified candidate, the scholarship may be awarded to a student from another high school.
The Selection Committee may recommend additional scholarships based on the quality of the applicants. The total number of scholarships and the dollar amount will be approved by the MED Foundation Board of Directors.
Preference may be given to those applicants who have volunteered or worked at Mercer Health. Please include the number of hours each week that you volunteer at Mercer Health.
The MED Foundation does not discriminate on the basis of creed, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, sex, or sexual orientation in awarding scholarships.
Payment of Scholarship:
Scholarships will be awarded for a one-year period.
The payment of the designated amount will be made directly to the student.
