The Gibson Area Hospital Auxiliary is excited to announce they have nine scholarships to award this year.
Scholarships this year include two $2000 scholarships from The Verna Buck Fund. These two scholarships are designated for nursing students only.
The GAH Auxiliary will also be offering two scholarships for $2000 for students choosing a career in any medical field.
The Arthur and Ane Jensen Noland Family Scholarship Fund and the William and Viola Garrett Scholarship Fund will each be offering a $1000 scholarship for students who live in Ford County or who have graduated from a Ford County school. They may be awarded for any school work leading to a career in any medical field.
In addition, the CEDF Foundation will be awarding a $2000 scholarship for any student pursing a degree in nursing.
There is a $1000.00 scholarship which will be awarded by the GAH Auxiliary Gift Shop.
This year’s final scholarship will be awarded from the Cristina Medrano, M.D. / Verna Buck Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is for $1000 and is for any work in a medical field.
