Salem Hospital Foundation is now taking scholarship applications for half-time or full-time students in a medically-related field of study.

Students must be a resident of Marion, Polk or Yamhill Counties and have applied to a college in their field of healthcare study before applying for this scholarship.

Last year, the Foundation awarded a total of $111,000 to 89 students and has granted over $1M since the scholarship program was established in 1968.

Special awards are presented in the memories of Dr. John Alsever, Dr. Cass Bailey, nurse Nita Carter, nurse Kathy deMarrais, Dr. Carl and Olive Emmons, Rollin Haag, Mrs. Happ Jackson, Hattie Bratzel Kremen and nurse Elmera (Tiny) Richardson.
