The deadline is quickly approaching for three different local scholarship opportunities given through the Foundation for Community Care.

Healthcare Scholarship: The Foundation for Community Care Board of Directors offers the annual Healthcare Scholarship program to Richland County and surrounding area residents who are pursuing an education in a healthcare field. Applicants must have completed one year at a post-secondary university or college.

Jessica Vannatta Memorial Scholarship: This new local scholarship opportunity was created by Jessica’s father Greg Vannatta.

Both high school and college students are eligible to apply.

Special emphasis is given to those applicants who intend to return to the area to live and work.
