The I-70 Community Hospital Education Foundation Scholarship Fund - College Students was established to enhance the hospital and community by providing scholarships in the healthcare field, with an emphasis on rural healthcare, and in other ancillary fields deemed appropriate by the scholarship advisory committee. Applicants must be a resident of eligible counties in Missouri, which serve as the I-70 Community Hospital service area. They must be seeking a post-secondary education in the healthcare field or other ancillary field deemed appropriate by the scholarship committee. Applicants must plan to enter a healthcare career in their medical field within the I-70 Community Hospital Service area, which includes Saline, Lafayette, Johnson and Pettis Counties in Missouri. They may attend an accredited two- or four-year college or technical school. Having a full-time coursework load of 12 credit hours per semester is strongly encouraged. Applicants may submit their college transcripts or GED scores. Non-students, if employed, must provide work history for two years prior from employer or supervisor. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation from an employer, coworker, teacher, friend and/or minister stating the applicant's character, need, aptitude and emotional stability. Renewal of scholarship awards is at the discretion of the scholarship advisory committee. Previous recipients should refer to their award letter for renewal eligibility requirements.
