The Stanly Health Foundation awards scholarships annually to local students pursuing health care careers.

The Roy and Lou Hinson Scholarship, worth up to $2,500, celebrates the late Roy Hinson’s 41 years of service to Atrium Health, and his wife, Lou, who is retired from public education and provided many years of volunteer support to the Roy M. Hinson Cancer Center.

The C.B. Crook Family Scholarship, worth up to $5,000, honors the community involvement of the late C.B. Crook and his wife, Betty. The Crooks were philanthropic champions of the Foundation and Mr. Crook chaired the Stanly Society Committee for more than 20 years.

It is the hope of the Foundation Board of Directors that the scholarship recipients will work in the community upon completing their education.

The scholarships are offered to students from the following groups who are enrolled in college or a university for the 2022-2023 school year in a health-related field, have completed a minimum of 60 hours of undergraduate study and have a minimum 3.2 cumulative GPA:
• Atrium Health Stanly teammates and their dependents;
Or
• Residents of Stanly or Montgomery counties.

Candidates are evaluated based on academic achievement, character, maturity, motivation and goals. Work experience and involvement in the community are also considered.

To apply, students must complete the application form under the scholarships tab at stanlyhealthfoundation.org, submit their most recent transcript of grades and submit two recommendations (one from a current or past professor and one from a teammate at Atrium Health Stanly, no recommendations from relatives) using the form provided with the application.

Scholarship funds can only be used for tuition, books or fees and will be made directly to the college or university.

To be considered, the application and required submissions must be received in the Stanly Health Foundation office by May 15. The address to submit by mail is: Stanly Health Foundation, Attn: Scholarship Committee, PO Box 254, Albemarle, NC 28002.
