St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea’s volunteer department announced the opening of the application period for annual scholarships awarded to qualified high school seniors or adult students pursuing a career in health care.
“We take great pride in helping students pursue and achieve their dreams in health care,” said Russ Billau, director, volunteer services at St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea. “We wish all students the best of luck with their applications and look forward to receiving their submissions.”
To qualify, applicants must be enrolled full-time in a health career program for which certification is given or a degree is granted, and must be a resident of Chelsea, Manchester, Dexter, Pinckney, Grass Lake, Stockbridge or Gregory.
Scholarship recipients are determined based on academic achievement, community involvement and the individual’s sincere interest in the health care field.
