“The purpose of the HRMC Foundation Scholarship Program is to provide financial support to individuals who are pursuing a career in a health field while ensuring that the Huron area continues to have quality, dedicated healthcare staff,” said Timm.
The scholarship program began four years ago with the creation of a single $1,000 nursing scholarship designed to help promote nursing education at the Dakota Wesleyan University-Huron site program, according to Timm.
"The scholarship committee has flexibility to provide varying numbers and amounts of scholarships," said Timm.
Applicants must have completed at least one year of college level coursework in a health-related degree or certification program and have a "C" or better grade point average. Preference will be given to applicants who indicate financial need, and following graduation, that they will seek to be employed or continue their employment in the Huron, South Dakota area.
“The Foundation’s intent with these scholarships is to encourage students to further their education while pursuing a career in a healthcare field,” according to Timm. “We welcome students of all ages to apply and learn more about the lifelong benefits of a future in health care.”
Scholarship applications must be postmarked by 5:00 p.m. on April 2, 2010. Recipients will be notified by April 30, 2010. Application forms are available at the Foundation office located in the Huron Towers, 110 Fourth Street, Suite B-8, or online at www.hrmcfoundation.org. For more information or to request an application, call 605-353-6315 or e-mail rtimm@huronregional.org.
The purpose of the HRMC Foundation is to raise gift income each year, which will be used to support and endow the maintenance and enhancement of healthcare services on behalf of Huron Regional Medical Center.
Huron Regional Medical Center (HRMC) provides state-of-the-art health care with a caring, compassionate touch to residents in Huron and seven surrounding counties in the region. As a non-profit, private corporation, all profits are reinvested directly into the hospital for such items as new or updated equipment and expanded programs. More information about HRMC is online at www.huronregional.org.
