(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bobby Maldonado for the information in this story.)
St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea is again providing scholarships for students interested in pursuing a career in health care.
In 2016, the hospital will award five merit-based scholarships to local students in the amount of $1,000 each.
To quality, this year’s applicants must be enrolled fulltime in a health care program for which certification is given or a degree is granted. Applicants must live in Chelsea, Manchester, Dexter, Pinckney, Grass Lake, Stockbridge or Gregory. Scholarship awards are based on academic achievement, community involvement and a sincere interest in health care.
Applications may be picked up at the information desk inside St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, or can be mailed upon request.
Applications will be accepted until May 6.
The scholarships being awarded are funded by the St. Joe’s Auxiliary, a volunteer department within the hospital.
For more information or to request a scholarship application, please call 734-593-5793.
All applications should be sent to the attention of Lois Gibson, Auxiliary counselor, 775 S. Main St., Chelsea, Mich. 48118.
