The Health and Welfare Foundation of Southern Chester County will award scholarships to students who reside in the Avon Grove, Kennett Consolidated, Octorara Area, Oxford Area and Unionville-Chadds Ford school districts. The Alma Newlin Educational Fund scholarship, previously granted in amounts of $1,000 or more, is open to students who are seeking higher education in the human health care field.
Last year, over $100,000 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 Alma Newlin Scholarship grants one-time undergraduate awards to college-bound high school seniors, current college students, and adults pursuing continuing education. Students entering postgraduate studies are also eligible, 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.
Applications may be obtained at http://www.hwfscc.org under the funding link. All applications and supporting documents must be submitted electronically by Monday, Feb. 28, 2022. For more details, contact Dr. Constance Logan at almanewlinscholarshipfund@gmail.com.
