The Schneck Foundation scholarship committee recently announced it is accepting applications for the Allied Health Scholarship and the Amanda M. Dick Honorary Scholarship for female medical students.
Beginning Monday, applications for either scholarship may be obtained online at schneckfoundation.org or schneckmed.org or by contacting the foundation at 812-524-4244. Applications for the Allied Health Scholarship also will be available from counselors at local high schools.
Applications, due by March 15, may be completed online or via paper form.
Candidates who are interested in pursuing a course of study in a technical/professional allied health career are welcome to apply for the Allied Health Scholarship. Allied health areas include but are not limited to clinical support areas, such as speech therapy, respiratory therapy, lab technology, pharmacy, physical therapy and radiological technology.
Acceptance for enrollment at a school and program of study in a technical/professional field is required for the scholarship to be officially awarded. To be considered, candidates must apply each year for the annual Allied Health Scholarship. Started in 1992, the program has awarded more than $600,000.
In honor of his wife, Dr. Amanda Dick, Dr. Andrew Dick started the Amanda M. Dick Honorary Scholarship in 2018 as a surprise birthday present. The scholarship is intended to support women pursuing a career in the medical field. To be considered, candidates must apply each year.
Candidates must be female and currently accepted into medical school. Primary consideration will be given to residents of Jackson, Jennings, Scott and Washington counties. Residents of other counties may be considered based on available funds and at the discretion of the scholarship committee.
