Hospital Offers Healthcare Scholarships
for Spring Semester

Kent & Queen Anne's Hospital is offering Katherine "Kitty" Anthony Clements Scholarships to students enrolled in school for the spring semester. Kent & Queen Anne's Hospital Auxiliary created the scholarship to assist individuals in obtaining the initial education or training required to become a health care provider in a field necessary to meet the workforce needs of the hospital.

Applicants should be planning to pursue careers in areas such as nursing, surgical technology, radiology or medical laboratory work. The program will fund a student's education in exchange for working a pre-determined length of service at the hospital while maintaining a grade point average of 2.5. A recipient may receive up to $7, 00 over three years; funds may be used to pay for tuition, fees and books. Students applying for the program should be Delmarva residents.

Detailed information and applications are available from the Human Resources Department of Kent & Queen Anne's Hospital located at 100 Brown Street, Chestertown, or by calling Leslie Stack at (410) 778-3000, extension 4006.
