MONROE — Monroe Clinic Volunteers have announced the 2020 recipients of the scholarship awards for students seeking a career in a health-related field. 

Monroe $500 recipients include Grace Mathiason and Brianne Seagreaves, and Monroe Clinic branch recipients are Madelyn Huschitt, Black Hawk School District and Kierra Lynn Schulz, Lena-Winslow School District.

The Advanced Studies scholarship was awarded to five area college students who completed at least one year of advanced study, beyond high school, in a health-related field. A $1,500 scholarship was awarded to Alicia Kuester, Josephine Eberle, Brandi Jelle, Rachel Meier and Paige Schilling.

Applicants are required to have a GPA of 3.25 or higher and are evaluated on citizenship, need and pursuit of a degree or certificate in the healthcare field. Recipients of the scholarships must either live within an area serviced by a Monroe Clinic branch or have a parent who is employed by the organization. Each application is reviewed by a scholarship committee.
