Scholarships for Healthcare Education

The Noyes Health Auxiliary is able to offer up to $5000 in college scholarships to hard-working students, from high schools in our hospital service area, planning on entering the medical field. Fighting COVID-19 has shown the world how important essential health care professionals are to our existence. Scholarships will be granted to qualified students matriculating in an associate or bachelor’s degree program at an accredited college or university in medicine, nursing, or in another health-related field, including dentistry, ophthalmology, and pharmacy. We are glad we are able to offer this opportunity to help students in the Noyes Health service area defray the high expenses incurred by today’s college students.
