15 students pursuing health careers earn $1,000 scholarships
Clinton County students pursuing healthcare careers recently received a little help building their college funds from the Sparrow Clinton Hospital Foundation.
Under the Merten and Geraldine Whyman Health Careers Scholarship Fund, the Sparrow Clinton Hospital Foundation granted $1,000 scholarships to 15 area high school and college students.
Each applicant’s academic record, community service, leadership and personal achievements were carefully reviewed prior to selection. Applicants also were asked to write a brief essay about why they deserve the scholarship and how, as a healthcare professional, they can make a difference in the health status of the people of mid-Michigan.
