The St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation now has applications available for scholarships for area high school seniors pursuing a degree in a health care field. For many years, the Foundation has provided scholarship assistance of varying amounts to students from area communities and children of medical center employees who are furthering their education and who have been accepted to an accredited program of training for health care occupations.

Each year, a percentage of Foundation funds, including memberships, are earmarked for this Scholarship Award Program. Many past scholarship recipients now are putting their education and experience to work in our region, and several are SCRMC employees.

To request an application, please contact Sandy Williams, Director of Development, Education and Marketing at St. Croix Regional Medical Center, (715) 483-0247, or stop by the Medical Center and ask for an application. You may also request a copy by e-mail. Send the request to Sandra.williams@scrmc.org and put "High School Scholarship Application" in the subject line. The deadline for application submissions is April 15.
