Scholarships
We award scholarship funds to post-secondary educational institutions that are increasing the number of qualified healthcare professionals practicing in our community.
Preparing students for healthcare careers
Scholarship programs for low-income students – such as those attending College of Lake County – include post-graduation work commitments to help address growing healthcare provider shortages in our area. For example, the U.S. is projected to experience a shortage of Registered Nurses needed as Baby Boomers age and their needs for healthcare grow. Additionally, the Health Resources and Services Administration reports that we “need to add 10,000 providers to each of seven separate mental healthcare professions by 2025 to meet the expected growth in demand.” These needs are intensified in rural and low-income communities.
