MONROE — Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership is once again offering two types of scholarships for students seeking a career in the healthcare field. The deadline for application submission is Feb. 28, 2021.

The first type of scholarship is for high school seniors. Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership awards four $500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors each year. Two scholarships will be awarded to Monroe High School seniors and two scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors from communities with Monroe Clinic branch sites — Albany, Blanchardville, Brodhead, New Glarus, Durand, Freeport and Lena — or who live within an area serviced by a branch site or who have a parent that is employed by Monroe Clinic.

The second type of scholarship is for continued education students. Applications for five $1,500 scholarships are available for Monroe Clinic’s service area college students. Applicants must have completed at least one year of advanced study (beyond high school) in a health-related field and be a resident of a community with a Monroe Clinic location or a resident within Monroe Clinic’s service area or an employee or child of a Monroe Clinic employee.

Requirements for both types of scholarships are the individual must be pursuing a degree or certificate in a healthcare related field, have a GPA of 3.25 or higher with an emphasis on science and math and all applications must be typed. In no specific order, recipients will be selected based on citizenship, need and school and outside activities.

Students who have received a Monroe Clinic Volunteers in Partnership $500 scholarship in the past are eligible to apply for the advance study scholarship. However, an individual may only receive each scholarship once.

Applications are available at www.monroeclinic.org/volunteers.
