Graduating high school students looking to get into a medical career and students that have been accepted into a program are encouraged to check out scholarship opportunities through the Warner Hospital Foundation. 

Matt Riley on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday told Regional Radio News last year the Foundation offered two different demographics a chance at scholarship money. They are offering students in or that have been accepted to a program a chance at scholarship funding as well as graduating high school seniors that are pursuing a medical degree or students that are in college that has not yet been accepted to a program.

Funds available to distribute this year might be down. According to Riley, the Foundation sets aside 10-percent of its fundraising each year, however, last year fundraising was all but cut off due to the pandemic.

Last year was a banner year for applicants. Whether it was students having more time to find scholarships being home with no activities happening or just a natural increase, Riley hopes to see that kind of interest again.

Applications for the Warner Hospital Foundation Scholarship are due April 15. Riley directs anyone interested in applying for the scholarship to the Warner Hospital website and seeking out the Foundation's page there. You can also contact Melissa White at the hospital for more information.
