The Health and Welfare Foundation of Southern Chester County invites students who reside in the Avon Grove, Kennett, Octorara, Oxford, and Unionville-Chadds Ford school districts to apply for the Alma Newlin Educational Fund scholarship. This scholarship, previously granted in amounts of $1,000 or more, is awarded to students who are seeking higher education in human health care.
Last year more than $93,000 was granted to area students who received this scholarship. Award recipients planned to study fields such as nursing, medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, sonography, and occupational therapy.
The scholarship grants one-time undergraduate awards to college-bound high school seniors, current college students, and adults pursuing continuing education. Also eligible are students entering postgraduate studies, including additional one-time awards to previous scholarship recipients seeking postgraduate education in health care. Students must have an unweighted cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher in previous studies and be accepted for study in health care-related professions.
The Alma Newlin Educational Fund was established in 1990 through a bequest from a longtime resident of Kennett Square. The fund is administered by the Health and Welfare Foundation of Southern Chester County. Applications may be obtained online at http://www.HWFSCC.org under the funding link. All applications must be postmarked by Friday, Feb. 28, 2020.
