Supporting Healthcare’s Future
Auxiliary & Volunteer Services awards scholarships to local students
pursuing careers in nursing and allied health
P
helps County Regional Medical Center
(PCRMC) Auxiliary & Volunteer Services
(AVS) actively supports the nursing and
healthcare professions each year by awarding scholarships to local students. The Auxiliary presented a total of $10,000 in scholarships in December
to students in registered nursing (RN), licensed practical nursing (LPN) and allied health.
The RN and allied health scholarships were
awarded at the Auxiliary’s quarterly luncheon. Juan
Martinez received a $2,000 scholarship for allied
health careers, while Margo Riddle, Sonya Schubbe
and Angela Johnson each received a $2,000 scholarship toward their RN educations.
Tina Pridgeon, director of Auxiliary & Volunteer
Services; Kathy Nickason, president of the Auxiliary;
and Marian Pruitt, second vice president and scholarship committee chair, awarded the scholarships.
Scholarship requirements
An LPN scholarship was awarded at Rolla
Technical Center; Rebecca Aegan received a
$2,000 scholarship.
AVS will begin taking applications for RN, LPN
and allied health scholarships each year at the
beginning of the fall semester in August, until a set
deadline in October. Applications are available on
the PCRMC website and via Human Resources and
Auxiliary & Volunteer Services, and the qualifying
information is included in the local papers. AVS also
mails information packets to all of the surrounding
schools so the financial directors are aware of the
scholarship opportunities.
In November, a panel made up of the AVS board,
hospital and medical group employees conducts interviews. The interviews are based on a point system,
and by the end of the day scores are tallied and
winners are determined. Scholarship recipients are
notified of their awards by mail and invited to the
AVS quarterly luncheon. The LPN scholarships are
awarded in a lamp-lighting ceremony at the Rolla
Technical Center.
CALL
Applicants must be enrolled in an RN, LPN or allied health program
to qualify. Scholarships awarded by Auxiliary & Volunteer Services
must be used for tuition only; books, fees, etc., are not eligible
as tuition costs. The school attended by the scholarship winner
must endorse the check as well as the recipient. Applicants already
awarded a scholarship are still eligible to win another year as long as
they do not reapply for the same type of scholarship. For example, a
winner of the LPN scholarship may reapply for an RN scholarship.
