Wamego Health Center Scholarships

These pass-through scholarships were established in 2007 and presented by the Wamego Health Center through the Wamego Community Foundation.  These scholarships were initially created by the Wamego Hospital Association (as predecessor to the Wamego Health Center) to help further the education of students pursuing a career in the health field. These scholarships are made available for students at Wamego High School (2 scholarships), Rock Creek High School (1 scholarship), and Wabaunsee High School (1 scholarship) and are non-renewable by each recipient.

Criteria

• Available to students who have committed to use the scholarship for attendance at a 2- or 4-year accredited institution of higher learning, including a university, college, or vocational technical school.
• Each scholarship must be awarded to a graduating senior, with disbursement to be made by the beginning of the fall semester following graduation from high school.
• Each scholarship recipient must be a student pursuing a career in a significant health care field and curriculum.
• Each applicant shall be required to describe and show those activities and programs (in addition to classroom studies) in which the student was involved in the community and high school throughout the student’s high school career.
