MONROE — SSM Health Monroe Volunteer Services is once again offering scholarships for students seeking a career in the healthcare field. The deadline for application submission is February 28, 2022. 

The first type of scholarship is for high school seniors where four $500 scholarships are awarded 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 SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group 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 SSM Health.

The second type of scholarship is for continued education students. Applications for five $1,500 scholarships are available for SSM Health Monroe’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 SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group location or a resident within SSM Health Monroe’s service area or an employee or child of a SSM Health 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 & outside activities. 

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