The Wyandot Memorial Hospital Foundation will award five $1,000 scholarships this spring to Wyandot County residents planning careers in healthcare.

Scholarship applications are available at the hospital’s main desk in the front lobby, and are due April 5.  The application may also be downloaded from the Foundation page on the hospital website at www.wyandotmemorial.org.

High school seniors or students currently pursuing healthcare degrees may apply for the awards.  Selection criteria include scholastic achievement (2.5 grade point average or better), financial need, character and citizenship and commitment to community.  Students are eligible to receive the award a maximum of two years, either consecutively or non-consecutively.

The application requires a few articles of supporting documentation, such as a copy of the most recent school transcripts, proof of residency in Wyandot County and three letters of recommendation.

The awards will be announced in late May after the Foundation board’s scholarship committee reviews and considers all qualifying applications.
