St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship Program

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to offer financial support to graduates of Schuylkill County high schools who desire to continue their education in a healthcare-related field. Applicants whose choice of study is in specific healthcare-related fields where a community need has been demonstrated, will be looked upon favorably. (These community needs will be determined by the Department of Human Resources at Good Samaritan). This scholarship is not based totally on financial need, but rather also on merit, academic promise, and community service.

Eligibility

Community recipients must be members of the current graduating class of Schuylkill County schools. Scholarship awards will be presented to family members of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center employees, including spouses; and also to Good Samaritan employees continuing their education in an area of healthcare. An applicant must either be a graduating high school senior or already be matriculating at an accredited post-secondary institution.

Disbursements

Scholarships no greater than $1000 each and no less than $250 each will be awarded.

Guidelines

Any application requesting scholarship funds must be submitted to Good Samaritan Foundation Scholarship Committee by April of each year.
