College students pursuing health care careers will have two opportunities to apply for scholarships awarded by the Stanly Health Foundation in 2023.

The Stanly Health Foundation Roy and Lou Hinson Scholarship will provide up to $2,500 to help defray the cost of tuition for an Atrium Health Stanly teammate, the dependent of a teammate or a resident of Stanly or Montgomery counties who will have completed at least 60 hours of undergraduate study by June 2023 with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.2 or higher.

The student must be accepted into a healthcare program of study for either undergraduate or graduate school.
