The Thompson Health Guild is offering up to six scholarships this year to local high school seniors who plan to pursue careers in the health care field.
Each scholarship is valued at $2,000 and will be awarded to students who intend to enroll in a human health–related program of study at the college level.
To remain eligible, scholarship recipients must complete their first semester of college and continue their studies in a health-related field in the second semester.
Students must attend high school in one of the districts within UR Medicine Thompson Health’s service area. Eligible districts include Bloomfield, Canandaigua, Geneva, Honeoye, Honeoye Falls-Lima, Livonia, Marcus Whitman, Midlakes, Mynderse, Naples, Newark, Palmyra-Macedon, Penn Yan, Red Jacket, Victor, and Waterloo.
Both the student and their school guidance counselor must submit online scholarship application forms no later than Friday, March 27.
The Thompson Health Guild serves as the auxiliary organization for UR Medicine Thompson Health. Funds raised by the Guild support the nonprofit health system’s efforts to expand facilities, purchase medical equipment, and offer programs that benefit patients, senior living residents, staff, and the broader community.
More information about the scholarship program and application process is available through participating school guidance offices and the Thompson Health Guild.
