20 local students receive South County Health scholarships

South County Health recently announced the recipients for its two annual scholarship programs – the Conrad-Nestor-Walsh Scholarship and the Medical Staff Scholarship – providing financial support for education to 20 students, a tradition that has been ongoing for over 30 years, helping high school graduates pursue their passions.

The Medical Staff Scholarships are awarded to area students who are interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. Guidance counselors from local high schools are invited to nominate two students from their respective schools. The Medical Staff Scholarships are awarded to students who are entering post-secondary education and who demonstrate a combination of academic achievement and financial need.

The Conrad-Nestor-Walsh Scholarships are awarded to area students entering post-secondary training who demonstrate a combination of academic achievement and financial need. The Conrad-Nestor-Walsh Scholarship is awarded to children, grandchildren, or dependents of South County Health employees and volunteers.
