Applications for scholarships through the Jean Alvater Baker Educational Fund, Albert Kahn and Mary Kahn, R.N. Educational Fund, ERS Charitable Fund, Millie E. Apgar Educational Scholarship Fund for Health Professionals, Gladys Benfield Watkinson Scholarship for Nursing Education (formerly Wingover Scholarship for Nursing Education) and Patricia M. Psenisky Nursing Scholarship Fund are now being accepted by the Hunterdon Health Foundation.
All funds provide educational opportunities to individuals pursuing careers in health care. However, the Kahn, Apgar, ERS Charitable and Gladys Benfield Watkinson funds place an emphasis on the nursing profession. The Patricia M. Psenisky Nursing Scholarship Fund is for students, RNs or LPNs seeking a bachelor’s degree in nursing or a graduate degree in nursing.
Applicants must either be Hunterdon County residents or employees/volunteers (parents/guardians) of Hunterdon Health or its related organizations. There is a common application for the Baker, Kahn, ERS Charitable, Apgar and Gladys Benfield Watkinson Scholarship funds. A separate application is available for the Patricia M. Psenisky Nursing Scholarship Fund.
Scholarship applications and affiliated documents are available for download on Hunterdon Health Foundation’s website: foundation.hunterdonhealthcare.org.
