Warren McElwain, Board President and Chairman of Cameron Regional Medical Center’s Scholarship and Education Committee, has identified that the CRMC Board of Directors awarded a total of $8,500 in renewable scholarships to 15 area high school seniors. These 15 graduates represent 10 different school districts in a five-county area.
Recipients of CRMC scholarships have made a commitment to pursuing a health care field of study on a full-time basis beginning this fall. Final selection of recipients is based on such criteria as high school GPA, ACT score, goals, school/community involvement, and need. Candidates must live in Clinton, Caldwell, DeKalb, Daviess, or Harrison Counties in order to be eligible.
Joe Abrutz, CRMC Administrator, stated, “These scholarships are renewable for an additional three years, provided the student stays in health care and maintains a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. The CRMC Board of Directors implemented this scholarship program with the hope it would serve as a recruitment tool for bringing our area students back to us when they are ready to start their professional lives.”
McElwain emphasized that this is the 27th year for the Medical Center’s high school scholarship program.
“CRMC awards approximately $35,000 in scholarships each year as part of its charitable mission,” added McElwain. “In addition to these renewable high school scholarships, the Medical Center provides $10,000 in awards to second-year students at North Central Missouri College in Trenton who are enrolled in health care studies.”
