WellSpan Waynesboro Hospital Auxiliary has a number of 2024 scholarships available.
The scholarships are for high school seniors, employees of the Waynesboro Hospital enrolled in a nursing curriculum, and students enrolled in an accredited program leading to a certificate or certification as a phlebotomist, medical lab technician, or medical technologist.
The Health Career Scholarship is for high school seniors. It assists graduating seniors of Waynesboro Area and Greencastle-Antrim school districts (including those who are home-schooled and students enrolled at Franklin County Career and Technology Center). Additionally, those involved with the Student Volunteer program at the Waynesboro Hospital during their high school years (not living in the Waynesboro Area or Greencastle-Antrim school districts) with the intent of pursuing a career in the health career field may apply. The guidance offices of both high schools and FCCTC will have information and application packets available for interested students. Information can also be found on the websites of all three schools. The scholarship will be paid directly to the recipient’s college/university and split between the fall and spring semesters of their freshman year.
The second one, for employees of WellSpan Waynesboro Hospital, is the Pearle E. Warren Nursing Scholarship. The applicant must be a full- or part-time employee of WellSpan Waynesboro Hospital and must be enrolled in an accredited community college, college, university, or school of nursing following a nursing or midwifery nursing curriculum, not graduating before December 2024.
