Scholarships available to health care students

St. Clement Community Foundation is accepting applications for a $1,500 scholarship to students pursuing a degree in the health care field.

The scholarship awards will be made to students from the service area of the former St. Clement Hospital and Maria Care facilities, which includes Monroe and Randolph counties and the St. Clair county communities of Lenzburg, Marissa, and New Athens.

Scholarships will be awarded in four categories: current Red Bud Regional Hospital or Red Bud Regional Care employee, or their spouse or dependent; traditional student; nontraditional student; and random selection. In addition, one $500 scholarship will be awarded recognizing community service, given in honor of past board members.

Applications must be electronically submitted at stclementcf.org by Feb. 15.

Applicants are encouraged, upon completion of their program of study, to seek employment in this geographic area.
