Community Hospital-Fairfax Auxiliary invites the public to apply for their Healthcare Educational Scholarship Program. This program provides assistance with healthcare education at any approved educational institution. The following information explains the guidelines of the healthcare education scholarship program and how to apply.

Students currently accepted for admission to an approved educational institution in a healthcare program are eligible. Students may be newly accepted or currently enrolled and taking classes for a higher degree or advanced training in a healthcare field.

Criteria for selection will include: prior academic achievement and honors; community service and other indications of service in healthcare; possible interest in pursuing a career with Community Hospital-Fairfax (not a requirement); and two references, one educational and one personal (non-relative). The current amount of scholarship funds already achieved for the coming semester will be taken into consideration and candidates who are in most need of assistance will be considered.

The amount of the scholarship will be awarded based on the amount the auxiliary has to offer and the applicant’s financial needs. These scholarships may be renewed in subsequent years if the selection committee feels the applicant has met criteria and those in most need of the scholarships. Scholarship monies awarded will be sent directly to the educational institution’s financial aid office or can be used for travel stipends secured by the auxiliary, or used for child care expenses sent directly to a child care facility.

Applications are available at the Community Hospital-Fairfax Auxiliary Gift Shop, in the admissions office, or online at Community Hospital-Fairfax’s website, www.fairfaxmed.com. Completed applications must be returned by July 12, 2025. Late or incomplete scholarship applications will not be considered. Applications should be submitted to Marilyn Alldredge, Scholarship Chairman, P.O. Box 45, Fairfax, MO 64446.
