Poughkeepsie- Saint Francis Hospital and Health Centers is accepting applications for the 2011 Nursing and Allied Health Careers Scholarship program. The annual program, now celebrating its 21st year helping those who strengthen out community, provides financial support to students pursuing degrees in health care.
“Last year 13 students received $13,000 in scholarship money,” says Nicholas Shannon, Special Events Manager of the program sponsoring Saint Francis Health Care Foundation. “These scholarships are made possible, in part, through the generosity of community members. We are grateful for the growing support of the program and are looking forward to another year of awarding talented and deserving students.”

Applicant must be currently enrolled or have proof of acceptance at an accredited college or university as a full or part-time graduate or undergraduate student in a nursing or allied health care curriculum.
The Scholarship Committee, chaired by Owen Clarke Jr., will evaluate all academic records and letters of recommendation. Finalists will be chosen for personal interviews in early May. Scholarships for the upcoming academic year, ranging in monetary value from $500 to $1,500, will be announced in May/June.
