WMMC Auxiliary Accepting Applications

for Healthcare Career Scholarships

Warrensburg, MO (March 6, 2017)—The Western Missouri Medical Center (WMMC) Auxiliary is sponsoring scholarships for students pursuing a career in healthcare. Those interested must turn in a completed application by Saturday, April 1, 2017 to be considered for one of the several scholarships awarded.

Scholarships are not limited to students in nursing or medical school, but includes physical therapy, wellness, laboratory, radiology, occupational therapy, cardio-pulmonary services, pharmacy, nutrition and others. Successful applicants are selected by the Auxiliary Scholarship Committee based on financial need, scholastic ability, work plans and demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in healthcare.

Last year, the scholarship committee awarded six, $1,000 scholarships. The amounts vary from $250 to $1,000, dependent on need and ability. Completed applications must be returned to the attention of Teresa Collins in the Marketing & Business Development Department at WMMC no later than April 1, 2017. PLEASE NOTE: Incomplete applications will not be considered. 

As educational expenses are rapidly rising and the demand for healthcare workers increases, there is an ongoing need for additional funds. Anyone wishing to make a donation in memory of someone will enhance the Auxiliary’s opportunity to provide additional scholarships. Donations may be made to the WMMC Auxiliary for the Scholarship Fund.

Applications for this scholarship have been distributed to all Johnson County high schools as well as Warrensburg Area Career Center, University of Central Missouri and State Fair Community College. The application can also be found on our website at https://wmmc.com/ways-to-give/volunteer.aspx. For more information, please contact Teresa Collins, Volunteer Services Coordinator, at Western Missouri Medical Center at (660) 262-7466 or by email: tacollins@wmmc.com.

The scholarship committee will begin the review process for all completed applications following the April 1 deadline. Scholarships will be awarded in May 2017.
